What is obsolute path and relative path in QTP..? How to access them and what are the differences ..

Answer / nath t

Absolute path means we have to mention full path in script.

Example: executefile "E:\project name\libraries\main.vbs"

Relative path menas no need to give full path just mention
file name

Example: executefile "main.vbs"

But here if you want to convert this Absolute file path as
relative path. you should do following steps

Tools menu-->options-->folders tab

here you have to add this path example "E:\project
name\libraries"

then you can use direct filename as above mentioned in the
relative path example instead of absolute path example.

Answer / radhika

A small correction in the path
You can make your path relative before only by going to
Tools->options->Folder->check the checkbox "Relative
path ...."

Basically we go for relative path when we are going to
copy our qtp scripts to different location like from C
drive to D drive on different machines

Answer / radhika

Absolute path means the existing path of your test.
Ex: c:\Data\inputfiles\testscripts\test1

Relative path means the path which you want to access from
the rootfile you need.
Ex: ..\..\..\iputfiles\testscripts\test1

Basically it sgood to prefer relative path as, if the
location of the root folder changes you do not get any
errors

You can make your path relative before only by going to
Tools->options->run->check the checkbox "Relative path ...."
