    Hello everyone,

     

    thank you for your replies; I found the reason of the problem: It had nothing to do with TC: Another application is stealing the log if I call a particular function in my application, even if I do it manually.

     

    Sorry for the confusion.

When you launch the app outside of test complete, how is it done? A shortcut, a command, a batch file? 

 

Sounds to me like your application, when launched normally has some kind of flag tacked onto it's shortcut / command to enable the logging.  Something like -log or -debug

 

You can add parameters like that to your tested app.

 

Without more information though not sure where to point you.
