How to Load a .vbs Function Library at Run-time in TestComplete

Question

var ws = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell")&nbsp;ws.Run("D:\BTAAF\FunctionLibrary\CommonFunction.vbs")

That's what "Add -&gt; Existing Item" is for. &nbsp;There's no need to load it at runtime. &nbsp;If you want to add a VBS file to a project, you can "Add -&gt; Existing Item" to add the vbs file. &nbsp;You may need to change the select box to look for files of the proper extension but this should allow you to include any VBS file in TestComplete.

Thanks for your answer I had tried it but it is showing microsoft vbscript runtime error.Somehow code is not able to upload library file.

sAutoAppPath = "D:\BTAAF\FunctionLibrary\CommonFunction.vbs"

Call Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run(sAutoAppPath)

Function Sum()

call killProcess("Excel.exe")

End function

For me below code is working fine, I'm able to trigger the VBS file
&nbsp;
Function triggerVBS
      path = "D:\Users\Desktop\Test.vbs"
      'Way1
      WshShell.Run(path)
      'Way2
      Call Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run(path)
End Function

&nbsp;I am also interested to know this.&nbsp;Using this code&nbsp;Function triggerVBS&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; path = "D:\Users\Desktop\Test.vbs"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 'Way1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WshShell.Run(path)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 'Way2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Call Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run(path)End Function&nbsp;We can load the .vbs file but we can not call the functions from inside of the functions.lets say If I have creates multiple function like - add, divide, multiply etc or login, new order, logouthere we can't call these functions in TC. is there any way to call functions (add, divide, multiply etc or login, new order, logout) from .vbs file.&nbsp;
