    Just to follow up with this thread using the browser.find method is working great for me now .... i have managed to remove the name mapping and the tested applications from my project entirely after wich i no longer have any issue with memory i find my controls based on property name/value pairs and im able to pass any process as a tested process and then begin mapping controls using my methods this has opened a great platform for creating automated tests against any platform. I'm in no way trying to play down the name mapping and tested applications included with test complete but i find that this method is much more suitable to automating in my current environment. Thanks for the input in helping me toward my solution!

As a thought i could store the array from the findall in your method and try to find controls from that array and re-execute the findall when we fail to identify an object from the stored array... this would reduce the number of times the find all had to execute and keep us from the heafty wait times and reduce the memory used during testing ... i still dont think its going to be a real solution to the issue though.

also i wounder if we could check controls in our array for child controls and find all children.
