    ok. i have come up with a solution. not sure if it is the best method but, at least it appears to work. i replace this: 

    Browsers.Item(btChrome).Navigate(page.URL);

    with this:

    page.ToURL;

    and that resolved the "file couldn't be accessed" issue. then i had to map the entire blob file page (cause it doesn't have anything defined beneath it) and through trial and error I found the proper x,y coordinates that performed the click action in the correct place.

    that allowed the mapping of individual objects above the yellow line in the image shown here but it didn't open up anything below the line (which is where the download button is located). 

     
     

     

    i think i might be able to approach it from a different angle. if i change the chrome setting for PDFs to this (instead of "open pdf in chrome") then i can just find the pdf in my downloads folder and use it from there. I'll just have to rename it. Thanks for trying though.

If you add the WndClass name to MSAA in Project Settings

You'll be able to access the buttons, tabs, menu etc in Chrome.

 

Also, disable this option

i added WndClass to the MSAA and, just for good measure, i closed and reopened TestComplete

 

but that webpage still does not allow me to drill down to the buttons. it's page does not have a little white arrow symbol next to it for expanding. the option you mentioned was already disabled. did i not do it correctly? am i still missing something?
