objbrowser.back throws general run error

[Wiz83]

hi,

the below piece of code is throwing a General run error.

Code:

Set objbrowser = Browser("CreationTime:=0")
Set objpage = objbrowser.Page("title:=.*")
objbrowser.Back

When I try to find out what the error is it says Error #-2147467259, but the Err.Description was blank. Searching Google for -2147467259 didn't return anything.

I'm using IE 8 and QTP 11.

please help!

Hi,

Sometimes application is designed in a way that it dosen't support the back button operation, try to do this manually and check if application supports it or not.

hi sankalp,

I can hit the back button manually on the browser on the Website which I'm automating, any other ideas?

Hi,

IF above dosen't work please try this:
1. In IE settings, go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons
2. Select the BHOManager Class
3. Click the Enable button

Let me know if this works 4 u or not.

Hi Sankalp,
Could you provide more detail on BHOManager Class?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mrinal,

BHOmanager class is something that I think is beyond the scope of this forum. I mentioned it in the post to just make sure if problem is related to some configuration of IE to support QTP.
But if u really want to have feel of it u can google it, google can better help u, I have just basic knowledge of its integration with QTP.

Hello,
I am having the same exact problems with the same exact issues to the resolutions. However, my BHO manager is Enabled and the .Back function is Still NOT working. I tried using WSH to click the back button, but that only works when there is one browser open. I have to be able to do this while ALM and my application are both open. Any other solutions?
