    Haven't used keyword tests in years but try the following:

    In your keyword test when you "Select object" make sure you select the entire form NOT the text box it's self.

    1. Click next, then add property name "ReadOnly" value "false".
    2. Add a second property like "Name" and "*thenameofyourtextbox*" (with * wild cards).
    3. Click next and select the Keys method (if you make it to this point it found an object)
    4. Enter the value you want to key in
    5. Click Finish

Hey Ryan, it seems like it is working,THANK YOU a lot! Now it recognises the field properly!



So for others havng this problem in future:



- Use Find Object in Keywordtests, select whole form containing that field (if you could use just form without that other textbox field it could be even faster), set class name and isReadOnly = False property, also dynamic field needed to be either with wildcards or moved under most stable parent (with extended find), and used method Keys (setText didnt work for whatever reason it is)
