Use the following code which suites your inquiries

Browser("title:=.*Yahoo!.*").Page(".*Yahoo!.*").Link("Inbox.*").Click

Try this and let me know if it executed properly

Please use descriptive programming laguage. Your code should look like something as below

Browser("name:=.*Yahoo!.*","title:=.*Yahoo!.*").Page("title:=.*Yahoo!.*").WebTable("name:=login").WebEdit("name:=login").Set "XYZ"

Use object spy tool in QTP to learn the properties of the object and use them in desciptive language. I hope it should help you

Instead of "2 unread", you can regularise the option with a regular expression as [0-9]* in the palce of 2 and do not forget to check the regular expression check box.

RE: Regular expressions for web testing

Browser("Yahoo! Mail: The best").Page("(2 unread) Yahoo! Mail").Link("Inbox (2)").

we can resolve this issue by Regular Expresions. In the Object Repository change the Value of the object using .* and save the change in the Object Repository.

eg) Page("(2 unread) Yahoo! Mail") --> instead of this (2 unread) Yahoo! Mail) object change the object to a common name wih .*

this can be handled even using Descriptive Programming by give the Value of a unique property in the Code itself
