    Windows 8.1 and Windows 2008R2 are going to be using two different versions of IE 11 (assuming it's IE 11 you're working with). Essentially, this means it's possible for a page to be rendered differently on two different machines (although, not EXTREMELY likely since the versions aren't too far off).

    Suggestion: Rather than using the full path, consider using FindChild on some object in the path to locate, within the hierarchal tree of objects, the specific one you're looking for. This way, no matter what the intervening items are, you'll always find the same object.

    i am kinda new to this but i checked Findchild method and what i understood  is  like .

     

    parentobject =  Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("*");

    Prpertyname = "Name";

    PropertyValue = "Textbox("ContentPlaceHolder1_txtUserName"

     

    objectName = parentobject.Findchild(Prpertyname, PropertyValue  ,1000);

     

     

    this will give me the object name and using that object name i can get the full name to call the methods .

     i will try this but am i right ?

      It won't give you the object name, instead, it will give you the object itself so you can do whatever you need to with it.  But yes, that's the general idea.

        HI

        I tried it

        Dim Res
 Dim ParentObject, Propertyname, propertyvalue
 Dim Object

 Res =  aqString.Find(strLongName, "Sys.Browser",0)
 IF Res = -1  Then
 Set ParentObject = Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("*")
 ProprtyName =Array("Name")
 PropertyValue = Array(strLongName1)
 If ParentObject.Exists Then

 Set Object = ParentObject.FindChild(Propertyname, propertyvalue,1000)
 End IF
 If Object.exists then
 fullname = Object.FullName 
 End IF
 strCommandLine = "Call " + fullname + strAction
 Else 
 strCommandLine = "Call " + strLongName + strAction
 End If

         i am using IF Else here as i am using an Excel Sheet which contains Full names for other objects and they are more than 1000. so keeping the existing approach as well.

         

        which is 

         

         strCommandLine = "Call " + strLongName + strAction

         

        and this strCommandLine is passed to the execute ().

         

        but here i am getting some error for 

        Set Object = ParentObject.FindChild(Propertyname, propertyvalue,1000)

        i am not able to get the exact error as i am using the framework created by someone else.

         

        can you please tell me what am i missing here ?

         

        thanks
