Hi Uma,

Before you enter the env value (ie:fav-env) into the input box ,save it to a variable ('inp_Var').
We know only once your condition is true the link in if loop will open.Hence if the correct link is open then verify your inp_Var with the input source..may be datable or another variable value.

There is also another method of reading your .vbs file and verifying the fav-env value.In qtp we have code for read and write text file.Please go through qtp help.

if wrong please correct me.

Thanks,
Himateja.

Hi Uma,

The first thing that u need to do is to associate the .vbs file to QTP by navigationg to File->Settings->Resources. Here attach the .vbs file. Second point is that when u need some value(which is in ur .vbs file) to be used in ur script, u must return the value to the function... Chk the sample code below..

'----- function-----

Code:
Suppose ur function is 

Function Open_Link()

   fav_env=inputbox("enter ur enviorn...")

    if fav_env=A then

       open link

   elseif ....

      open second link....

   endif

   'Return the value to the function

   Open_Link=fav_env

End Function

'Now to call this function is ur QTP script, u can use the below code

FunctionReturnValue=Open_Link() ' Here FunctionReturnValue will have the value which u have enterd in Input box.

Do let me know if it does not work.

Regards,
Ankesh
