Articles? What kind of objects are those? Are those mere webelements whose text you intend to verify?

Thanks for the reply
I am not sure what kind of webelements they are they are but i will explain
if we click on one link like say icecream it will display the recipe for the ice cream
i want to check the text of that recipe without using chekpoint
My idea is to get the text by using getroproperty and then query the database were this recipe is stored and save that and compare both of them
but i am not sure how will that work
can u help me
thanks again

Let me show you the way, you would need to walk through,
Two parts,
1. GUI - getroproperty should give you the text.store it in a variable say VarGui
2. DB - recordset of the executed query should give you the same text.
You will need to define a " connection string " in order to connect to db. Use the API adodb.connection and adodb.recordset. Granulaize your sql qury so that it would fetch only the text you are going to compare. Store it in a variable. Say VarDb
3. Once you have both the values stored it Should be a cakewalk. Compare both the string which would mean If VarGui=VarDb then pAss else fail. If there is discrepancy in string then use instr or strcmp.
Does it help?

HI Priya,
After reading your post the understanding I have about the requirement is:
'There may be multiple links(Titles) on a page & you want to validate any particular title.'
As per my understanding, verification using checkpoint takes lesser time than using Database(Especially when verifying one record at a time).
Please let me know if I anything wrong in this....
