Using two databank files in a single script

Question

The guy that created the scripts I'm using before I took over created a databank to create a random string of numbers to populate a field on our web site. But now I am using another databank to populate from a list all the other fields on our site. Is there a way in VB to populate a parameter value so I acn use the first databank file or to use two databanks in one script?

Hi,
With eTester it is only possible to use ONE Databank file...
-but you can also use VBA to populate parameters/input fields...
so either you have to merge your databank files OR you have to use some VBA to read data from the second file...and enter this through programming into your script.
if you want to write a string to a input field..
you could for example do the following in VBA.
On Error GoTo ERRLBL
Dim element As HTMLTableCell
Dim valueStr As String
'get the input field you wana interact with
RSWApp.om.GetElementByPath "window(index=0).Tag[TD](index=29)", element
If element Is Nothing Then
errDescription = "html object not found!"
errNumber = -1
Exit Sub
End If
'WRITE something to a input field...
element.innerText="what ever text or value you want...could also be a variable"
errDescription = ""
errNumber = 0
Exit Sub
ERRLBL:
errDescription = Err.Description
errNumber = Err.Number
hope it helps
