Hi Ted,

 

Judging by the outerHTML property, the ajxuniquename attribute should contain a unique name for this textbox. Did you try accessing objects via their HTML attributes? TestComplete provides two methods that could help you with this – refer to the "Finding Web Objects Using XPath Expressions" ( http://smartbear.com/viewarticle/62117/ ) help topic for details.

 

In this case, addressing a text box can be done via the following XPath Expression:

//INPUT[@ajxuniquename="201|RT_ABBREVIATION1_2_1_1_1"]
