    You can change the command line parameters of your test programmatically and then run the tested app:

     

    TestedApps.test.Params.SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = Project.Path + "\\dir1";
TestedApps.test.Run();

    Hi Joseph

     

    Thanks a lot, Its working Graeat. But I have a small discrepancy about this

     

    If the path of the folder contains no spaces then it working good(Success  Case - C:\User\Kamal\Project1\Sample.xls)

     

    If the path of the folder contains spaces then it not working properly(Failure Case - C:\User\Kamal\Project 1\Sample.xls)

     

    In Failure case there is spaces between Project and 1. In this case what we do? Can you please give any suggestion

     

    Thanks,

    Kamal

      You're trying to do something different.  Before you were trying to change the working directory.  Now you're trying to provide a command line parameter, as you were invoking excel on the command line:

       

      EXCEL.EXE  C:\User\Kamal\Project 1\Sample.xls

       

      You need to provide a parameter that will be enclosed in quotes when it is used.  You could manually modify the Command-line parameters entry for your tested app:

       

      "C:\User\Kamal\Project 1\Sample.xls"

       

      or, like before, modify it programmatically (escaping the double quote and backslash characters as necessary):

       

      TestedApps.test.Params.SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = "\"C:\\User\\Kamal\\Project 1\\Sample.xls\"";
