You can change the command line parameters of your test programmatically and then run the tested app:
&nbsp;
TestedApps.test.Params.SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = Project.Path + "\dir1";
TestedApps.test.Run();
&nbsp;

You're trying to do something different.&nbsp; Before you were trying to change the working directory.&nbsp; Now you're trying to provide a command line parameter, as you were invoking excel on the command line:
&nbsp;
EXCEL.EXE&nbsp; C:\User\Kamal\Project 1\Sample.xls
&nbsp;
You need to provide a parameter that will be enclosed in quotes when it is used.&nbsp; You could manually modify the Command-line parameters entry for your tested app:
&nbsp;
"C:\User\Kamal\Project 1\Sample.xls"
&nbsp;
or, like before, modify it programmatically (escaping the double quote and backslash characters as necessary):
&nbsp;
TestedApps.test.Params.SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = "\"C:\User\Kamal\Project 1\Sample.xls\"";

Hi Kamal_chennai,
&nbsp;
Are you planning to read data from an Excel file in your test? If you are, I would recommend that you use TestComplete’s Data-Driven Testing feature. It provides an easy way to work with your Excel data.

Hi baxatop/Tanya&nbsp;Thanks for the Reply&nbsp;For Baxatop&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Its working fine for single user if we give Working Path, but dynamic user, we can't give the exact path of the working folder. for.eg.,&nbsp; The test case stored in revision control tool so there are&nbsp;2 users working on that testcase one run from C:\user\Kamal\TC1 another one run from C:\user\Xyz\TC1. In this case we can't give a Exact path. That is why I want to use Project.Path operation in TestedApps&nbsp;For Tanya&nbsp;I also try to use Data Driven but Now I enhace the already developed script which is developed by TC8.6 . So if i change into Data driven i will take more time. If we use Project.Path operation in Tested apps then it will be great. If this feature not available in Testedapps then kindly add it to Feature enhancement&nbsp;ThanksKamal
