    The other approach is to create a new project, and use the record and playback function, to record your actions, in script. So that you can see how TestComplete has identified your UI and the method used to interact with the control. You can apply the script code to your existing project.

I've responded to similar post previously, and here are some of my answers -

If you enable MSAA in Project Settings,

Then majority of all ribbon controls (similar to Outlook) will be exposed to TestComplete, as shown below

You should then be able to access the following menu New Items -> More Items -> Task Request using the following key word actions, against the ribbon bar in Outlook 365

TestComplete might be recording the actions incorrectly for you - I suggest you remove PopupMenu and replace it with something similar to what is shown in the above image. Just to see if it works for you.

Try to use the Click method as opposed to ClickItem method.
