QTP execution in remote machine

[s_mavros]

Hi all,

I am posting this question regarding the execution of QTP scripts on remote machine. When i log in to my remote machine via "mstsc", and execute the script without closing the remote desktop connection, it works fine. But once i close/minimize the remote desktop window, it starts throwing error ( like Object not visible" error.

One of the places where it generally throws error is while clicking on the file menu in IE, as shown below :-

Code:

Browser(" page name -").WinToolbar("ToolbarWindow32").Press "&File"

Are there any workarounds to resolve the same??
Most of the QTP scripts take lot of time to execute, and if the prerequisite is to keep the screen active without even locking, isnt it one of the key disadvantages?

Thanks in advance!!!
Steve
