    For the web application I'm automating, extended find is disabled,

    I only map the names for the controls I'm interacting with only - e.g. right click on the control and select Map Object

    Select the last option

    I let TC choose the default names, but the last item name I change to something meaningful. Once my objects are all mapped, I then drag them into Aliases mapped object to build a tree structure

     

    I do scripting, and this is the best method I have found, that works for me. I also use TFS as source control.

I forgot to mention, I don't use XPath in my projects

    Is there a reason why you don't use xPaths? is there a simpler way to point to objects in testcomplete? In my environment some Fields got the same label or id.
