    Hi Chris,

     


    The automatic Name Mapping works in the following way: when recording, TestComplete maps an object by several criteria that are identified by the type of the mapped object. Sometimes, the selected properties may not be unique, they can change from run to run of your tested app. In this case, you need to choose other, more reliable properties for the mapped object and remap it. The detailed troubleshooting steps are specified in the "Handling the 'Unable to Find the Object' Error" article in the "Diagnosing the Problem" section.
