    Hi,

     

    > I am using the latest version 14.72.408.7 x64.

    Actually, current latest version is 14.72.485 though I don't think this would make a difference.

    As no one here can provide you with any piece of advice I would ask Support via the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/message/ form.

     

    The approach that you described in your initial post is a valid one and can be used if your test is working with the same static data. IIRIC, Web Table checkpoint stores data snapshot when created and then just does a plain compare of the saved data against the actual current table data.

    Personally I don't like the approach when tests are executed over static data (restored/re-generated before every test run), but prefer to have test code that can take any data that already exist and use/work with them. Web Table checkpoint cannot work with dynamic data and this is the reason of why I don't use (practically) any data checkpoint provided by TestComplete.

Thank you for starting this thread AndyG!

 

Has anyone faced anything similar? Any ideas why the table isn't recognized? Your help is very much appreciated🙂

        Neither did I.

        Table checkpoints are static and thus were always barely usable for me.
