HI galstar,

You can parameterize the Link object, but we have to use the Descriptive Program or "SetToProperty" in order to work with that.

Descriptive Program:
'in the global sheet Create column with name as "LinkName" and enter your Link names in that column.
Now try to work with Link.

Code:

Browser("").Page("").Link("name:="& Datatable("LinkName",dtglobalsheet).Highlight


SetToProperty:
Browser("").Page("").Link("ORLink").SetToProperty "name",Datatable("LinkName",dtglobalsheet)
Browser("").Page("").Link("ORLink").Highlight

Please let me know if you need any more information on this.

Instead, you can do parameterization in text Field in Object Repository.

Goto Object Repository --> Select Link Object --> Description Properties --> Text Value --> Value Configuration Window opens --> Select 'Parameter' --> enter a name --> Select Ok.

Now you can see a column created with a name you entered in Global Data Sheet.

Add as many link values as needed and do the needed parameterization.

Your script will iterated for each entered Link names in Global Sheet.

Suppose if you enter 10 Link names as Parameters, your script will run 10 times, each time it uses corresponding row Link name.

Hope this helps...Let me know, for any more queries.
