Continuing to attempt to track down this issue. I've watched part of an online webinar that discusses the object not found issue and I'm attempting to apply the recommended diagnosis procedure. I'm fairly convinced the object name is not being dynamically generated. However, the object is created or supplied by a third party component suuplier. Currently pursuing the theory that the object is not available at the moment that TestComplete is looking for it - i.e. possibly a lag between when the screen is displayed and the object becomes available. In the specific case I am examining, the object is a menu item. Upon running the test a second time, TestComplete found the objectand continued running w/o error. No change in TestComplete or the application.
