    Hi Colin,

     


    As a rule, from the Object Spy, you can get access to the Name Mapping editor by using the approach suggested by Joe, or by switching to the Object Browser and navigating to Name Mapping from it.


     


    As you don't have the Mapped Name property filled in, it means that TestComplete couldn't identify that this object had been mapped. As a result, the product cannot show it in the Name Mapping editor. I suggest that you try troubleshooting to know why TestComplete doesn't identify the object as the mapped one. Perhaps, some properties of this object or its parent were changed.

Colin,



> If I then look at the same object in my name map, and tell it to highlight on screen, it works correctly.



As a quick check: if from the Namemapping Editor you command to show the mapped object in the Object Browser (right-click on the mapped object and select 'Show in Object Browser' command), does it highlight the same object that is selected whan Object Spy is used? Does the object in the Object Browser that you navigated to from the namemapping Editor have empty MappedName field?
