First add the object to your Object Repository (u can do this by ObjRep-->Add Objects button) and then manually write a step in the expert view to select a value in that object.

Thanks A Lot for your reply.

The object does exists in the Repository. But still the test is failing.I dont know why it is happening only to that specific column.I checked the properties of the object as well.I am getting an error message "Test could not run...."

Did u get a solution for this? If not could you be more descriptive about the problem and error message. I think I had the same problem and might be able to help you, if you give me more info.

Hi,
I was able to solve the problem by using SelectColumnHeader to set focus to that column.Below is the script.

JavaWindow("Allocation").JavaTable("Quantity:").SelectColumnHeader "COM." + vbCr + "METHOD"

JavaWindow("Allocation").JavaTable("Quantity:").SetCellData EnterRow, "COM." + vbCr + "METHOD", DataTable("p_Method", dtLocalSheet)

What was your situation and how did you solve it?Please let me know.

Thankyou.

The application that I was testing had many objects(lists,tables etc etc) without names, and any other conventional properties. So I had to use the Index property to uniquely identify the table and BTW using Index makes your script run faster.
