Tried adding the event handler as suggested by Kitt and it works. Good to know that we can get around this issue that SmartBear has created. TestComplete, should really have an option to turn off the checking of the performance and producing the error in the first place. So, now there are checks for optimization, (that will make the current code slower for all XPath lookups). We do not want those all the time. It is good to have the capability, but allow us to turn them off/on as desired.
IMO the event handler is a work around.
