How do I map Embedded Text Boxes?

When recording the screen and I click a text box inside a grid, it maps the object inside the grid. However I'm running into a problem where it doesn't pick it up a few test runs later.

 

When I try to remap the Embeddable TextBox, only the large grid around it is picked up. How can I add this object to TestComplete? My only work-around currently has been to re-record the object.

    Have you tried your test with the larger box?  We don't map as far down as the Embedded Text Box, just the one above it, and it works fine.

      The box is large enough I'd say. It also doesn't pick up the button sometimes either. When I tell it to highlight it selects the large box around it when it should be the box inside.

        Look at the mapping for the big box and choose Advanced view.  If you can find something like the Column and Value fields that are in the attached image, you can use those to get to the grid boxes.
