Hi Mallikarjunarao,

First u should know why we use Descriptive Programming?
Answer:
•QTp is unable to find/recognize an object.
•Objects are dynamicaly changing.
•ObjectRepository size is huge automatically QTP will become slow for these scenario will go for Descriptive programming. Here we will not use Object Respository. Clear?

Regards,
Faroz

i write test script using flight aplication in qtp without OR i am getting errors

Code
Dialog("name:Login").WinEdit("name:Agent Name:").Set "Malli"
Dialog("name:Login").WinEdit("name:Password:").Set "mercury"
Dialog("name:Login").WinButton("name:OK").Click

Error:
The "name:Login" object was not found in the Object Repository.
Check the Object Repository to confirm that the object exists or to find the correct name for the object.

After i get this error i add Login Object to the OR and change the code then also i get the error

Error
The "name:Agent Name:" WinEdit object was not found in the Object Repository.
Check the Object Repository to confirm that the object exists or to find the correct name for the object.
