I have created an Function Library file as follows Function launch() bro="C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" url="http://www.feests.com/" invokeapplication bro&" "&url Browser(home).page(home).Link(reglink).click End Function Function restregistration(karthik, teja, Ameerpet, UK) Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(fbusname).set "karthik" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(dispname).set "teja" Browser(home).page(home).WebCheckBox(restchkbox).set "ON" Browser(home).page(home).WebList(cuiscate).Select "Indian" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(addline1).set "Ameerpet" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(pstcode).set "UK" Browser(home).page(home).WebList(cntry).select "United Kingdom" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(mlandno).set "023775347" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(emailadd).set "email@gmail.com" End Function 3. This is how I have called the keywords and Functions in QTP executefile"C:\Documents and Settings\karthik\Desktop\keywords.vbs" executefile"C:\Documents and Settings\karthik\Desktop\functions.vbs" launch restregistration karthik, teja, Ameerpet, UK, "email@gmail.com" Now the issue is, I'm trying to enter the email ID in WebEdit field. But I dont know what is the mistake I did, if I run the script in QTP it is showing following error Error: Expected identifier Line (2): "executefile"C:\Documents and Settings\karthik\Desktop\functions.vbs"".
