Triggering Testcomplete projects from excel input

Well... in the project suite's Test Items editor you can include/exclude separate projects for running with just a single click on the Enabled setting.



Controlling which projects to be run from an Excel sheet, seems to be much more complicated task. Just a few ideas:

• 
  Insert links to TestComplete projects into an Excel sheet. Clicking this link in Excel would open the project in TestComplete IDE, but will not start it automatically.


• 
  Use Excel's macro to launch TestComplete projects via command-line or via COM


• 
  Read Excel sheet data from within TestComplete project(using one of these methods) and then execute only those projects that were somehow selected  for the run
