    Hello I've just tried this I've put my other user details in. I'm not sure what yo mean when saying using the run method instead of RunAs. I've created a new instance of the application and called it other user under RunAs and though TC said it has failed again it actually loads up the application albeit it takes a lot longer than if it was me logging into it.

      Hi Enservepete,

       

      Right now, you are using the RunAs method to launch your application. It means that you need to specify the credential information of a user under which account you want to start the application. The Run method is simply run the application under the account under which TestComplete was started.

      Try adding your tested application to TestComplete’s TestedApps list as it’s described in the Defining Applications to Test ( http://smartbear.com/viewarticle/68684/ ) article.

        Hi,

         

        If I'm reading what you've put correctly please correct me if Im wrong you're suggesting that I create a new instance of the tested application under a new users credentials? If this is the case I've tried the creating various instances of the application with different users. This does actually work as does the code snippet. However the same outcome in which the test fails as it says it hasn't fired up the application but the application has loaded and is viewable on my screen.

         

        I also have a tested application setup which runs and works perfectly under my user name. The reason for using the code snippet is for me to test user permissions on other accounts. I have full access using my account I want to give the access to the test accounts then fire them up using those accounts.

         

        As mentioned in the initial report the application loads up fine the problem is Test Complete is saying it hasn't loaded it.

         

        Regards

        Peter
