but fails to work on a different similar machine. Any help here please

Hi Team

I'm facing the same issue. even after having the system dependent file location right

there is no luck. It fails to locate the object even fif the object is right there on the screen. It works absolutely fine on the machine where i developed it

Most probable scenario is one machine is faster / slower than the other.

Your time settings OK with faster machine but slower matching it takes time to create on-screen objects so TC expires it's waiting time and fire "object can not be locate" error.

Or else you may have defined machine depend parameters (eg file path C:\temp\myfile.txt but one machine has file in C:\temp1234\myfile.txt )

Adding a Delay seemed to help, but I'm really not a fan of arbitrary delays. Where can I find the settings to increat auto wait timeout? I've gone looking before, but could not find it.
