    Do you have same configuration on your both the Machine-

    1- TestComplete version.

    2- Operating System

    3- You Application Version (UAT)

    4- If Web Application then Browser Version etc..

     

     

    because we have running test on several machine and did not face any issue related to object (Platform should be same on all machine) 

     

    Re-map the objects - is not a very good idea all the time, if your objects (NameMapping) is very huge and running on deferent machines.

Thank you guys for the inputs!

The issue is now resolved.

The issue was that the application has the same configuration, but did not have the same window color, which cause all the objects' name changed.

After modified the windows color theme to classic, and reboot the machine,  now TC was able to find the objects.

Thanks again!

Just as a side note... it just feels like a rather strange design that the Windows theme actually alters the names of the components of the application. I know that applications do that... but it just feels weird.  Just my $0.02
