Testing Access Application => no Sys.OleObject property

Hi,



I'm setting up a TestComplete test for an MS Access Application following the instructions on the help page



http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/28663/



But if I select "Sys" in the Object Browser it has no Property "OleObject". So I can not access  the COM interface and I wonder why that is. What else do I have to do to get access to the Sys.OleObject property?



I'm running TestComplete 9.20 on a virtual machine with windows xp and MS Access 2003. Could this be a problem?



Perhaps this is somehow related to the broblem:

The object highlighting will not work when initialised from the Object Browser's context menu. For every object I get the error message "Cannot highlight this object on screen.". If I try highlighting objects from the Name Mapping Editor or Object Spy it works just fine.

    Thanks, that did the trick.



    I'm so used to working in the advanced mode on my machine that I forgot that there is a basic mode at all. :-)
