Hi,
Use "All Items" property. (See more of QTP help for more details).

what exactly is the error that you receive?
It must be an object identification issue. add more description to the object like below

Code:

Count =Browser("name:=Astrology - Yahoo! India News").Page("title:=Astrology - Yahoo! India News").WebList("index:=0", "innertext:= All News Yahoo! News Only").GetROProperty("items count")

Prachi -
Add the weblist object to the repository, use it and then see if you still get the error. If you dont then replicate the same property on your DP and see if that helps. If that does, then customize it according to your requirements.
