Robert,
Thanks for the information. Only the settings are stored in the excel file. The program being tested uses each setting to generate a table that I want to use for comparison. Since the regression test I want to create would use 288 tables, I would prefer to generate the stored table automatically rather than using the wizard 288 times during the first run of the test.
I suppose I could store the tables as tabs in a spreadsheet but that seems like reinventing TestComplete stored tables.
Do you see any way of using the Objects Add method to store a screen object such as a data grid in Objects stores, give it a unique identifier, and then use it for the comparisons?
Thanks
Yes, Objects.Add will take any onscreen object and store it with whatever properties you designate. See https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/items/stores/add.html
