    After entering the order code, customer name, and order date, I used the TAB key to navigate to the quantity field, not a mouse click.

    I then used the ENTER key to move through the item fields to the next line (new item).

    For order validation and invoicing, I no longer used the function keys (F10) but accessed the menu via the mouse. TC had lost focus and therefore had no access to the function keys.

Hi Bene,

I typically do a Record New Keyword Test for situations like this.  This lets me see the KWT TestComplete creates based on my on screen actions. 

 I enter the quantity, press Tab, enter the item, press Tab again, and press Enter three times. This adds a new row to the "Item" table.

If I record this using Notepad as the tested app it records a 'Keys' operation....

What does your do? Pay attention to the Description as well.  Good info there. 🙂 You can use this tool to see what TC is doing and what you may need to do to get it to the second row.
