ExecuteFile Method vs LoadFunctionLibrary Method

Using ExecuteFile Method

ExecuteFile statement executes all the VBScript statements in a specified file. After the file has been executed, all the functions, subroutines and other elements from the file (function library) are available to the action as global entities. Simply put, once the file is executed, its functions can be used by the action. You can use the below mentioned logic to use ExecuteFile method to associate function libraries to your script.

‘Action begins
ExecuteFile "C:\YourFunctionLibrary.vbs"

'Other logic for your action would come here
'.....


Using LoadFunctionLibrary Method

LoadFunctionLibrary, a new method introduced in QTP 11 allows you to load a function library when a step runs. You can load multiple function libraries from a single line by using a comma delimiter.
'Some code from the action
'.....

LoadFunctionLibrary "C:\YourFunctionLibrary_1.vbs" 'Associate a single function library

LoadFunctionLibrary "C:\FuncLib_1.vbs", "C:\FuncLib_2.vbs","C:\FuncLib_1.vbs", "C:\FuncLib_3.vbs","C:\FuncLib_4.vbs", "C:\FuncLib_5.vbs"  'Associate more than 1 function libraries
