I have users that would like to update files in Resources area in ALM/QC and have QTP read this file. Does anybody have way to do that?

You can not directly access the files in ALMQC with QTP. The files will have to be copied from ALMQC server to the local QTP machine. I found a great function at http://www.joecolantonio.com/2010/08/17/how-to-save-and-retrieve-a-qc-test-resource/. I have adapted the code for the following issues:
- Checks to see if spaces are in the filename and then add single quotes around file name.
- Checks the connection to ALMQC is open.
- The code looks for by file name and will error out if there is more than one file with same name.
- The code errors out if it cannot find the file in resources.
This code was tested with ALM 11 patch 9 with QTP 11

One thing to point out. When calling the QCGetResource function, use the file name of the test resource. If you use the test resource name, which can be different from the actual file name, the function will fail.

You can directly access some files. I use the below to access our .xls spreadsheets:
Add a file to Quality Center Resource Folder (must be in .xls format, not .xlsx). For the below example, I created an Excel (.xls) file with one worksheet named Step1, two columns and two rows:

[ A ][ B ]
[ Value1 ][ Value2 ]
[ a ][ cash ]

Save it as .xls, upload to Resource path of

ResourcesQTP ResourcesDataTest

Then here is the sample code to access it (Make sure QTP/UFT has an active connection to QC):

Datatable.AddSheet ''newSheet''
Datatable.ImportSheet ''[QualityCenterResources] ResourcesQTP ResourcesDataTest'', ''Step1'', ''newSheet''
msgbox Datatable(''Value1'', ''newSheet'')
msgbox Datatable(''Value2'', ''newSheet'')
