How to access Excel as a database using UFT

Whenever we access excel through UFT, we always use the createobject method which blocks the excel and starts excel.exe process. It can result in problems if the test script stops abruptly.

To resolve this issue you can access the excel as a database through UFT. Below code will help you with that.

        Dim oConn, oRS, arrData, x,iStart
        CONST adOpenStatic = 3
        CONST adLockOptimistic = 3
        CONST adCmdText = "&H0001"

        Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
        Set objRecSet= CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")

        'Open Connection
        oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" &_       
                    "Data Source=" & <ExcelFilePath> & ";" & _
                    "Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;"";"
        sQuery = "Select * From [" <sheetName > "$]"

        'Run query against WorkBook
        objRecSet.Open sQuery, oConn, 3, 3, 1

        'Move RecordSet to the target Row
        For x = 2 to IterationIndex - 1
            objRecSet.MoveNext
         Next

        'Use a For..Loop to iterate through Recordset
        For x = 0   to objRecSet.Fields.Count - 1
                         msgbox objRecSet(x).Name
                         msgbox objRecSet(x).Value
        Next
        set oConn = Nothing
        set objRecSet = Nothing

UFT - Resolving scrolling issue if object is not visible

There are many times when an object gets the place changed based on the list getting longer on the same webpage, which creates the need to scroll down on the webpage for any automation script to perform any action on the object. Many times we try to resolve this issue using the below code. Set objShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.SendKeys "{PGDN}" But if the place is dynamic and the lists above that object gets bigger then it requires more page down which will be never ending story and requires maintenance every time. So to resolve this issue we can use the below code which will take the pointer focus to the object. Browser("<object properties>").Page("<object properties>").Webbutton("name:=Next").Object.Focus After this you can perform any action on the object.

how to access the excel file as database in UFT?

We mostly use the excel file in UFT by using the excel object but it can also be accessed as a database and you can run the queries on different excel sheets as the database tables. You can use the ADODB connection to use the excel as database. Below is the code snippet to use excel as a database. Set  Conn =  CreateObject ( "ADODB.Connection" ) Set  RecSet=  CreateObject ( "ADODB.RecordSet" ) Conn.Open  "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="  & ExcelFilePath&  ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1"";" If you want to access the .xlsx file then please change "Excel 8.0" to "Excel 12.0". After making the successful connection, you need to provide the query and execute it using the recordset in the same way you do it for database tables. But here you need to provide the excel sheet name as database tables.  Query =  "Select * From ["  & sheetName &  ...
