Hoping somebody has a simple solution for me i have an object set HMC_HMQ_link = panel4.textnodeHmcHmqReport x = "panel4.textnodeItemPrices" What i simply want to do is do 'x.click' and that would get me my object click when i also tried to use the set command - i got error: object required [string:"panel4.textnodeitemP"] when that didnt work, i removed the set command got the following error when i added the following code to above x.Click the error that then appeared was Object required "x" Is there a way to convert the string i have defined as 'x' to become an object? i want to be able to simply add click to whatever value i pass as string and make it work like the first line steve Re: Have fields that are the same, do the same, and in the same pageForgot to add. I have 4 search fields on the same page and and 3 project fields that belong to 3 of the search fields. The objects are unique as indicated in previous post. My problem is when I attempt to object spy any of the project fields, they come up with the same name mapping. So I need some way to make the name mapping unique steveHave fields that are the same, do the same, and in the same pageI am trying to make the fields lunique. i attmpeted to have it recognize the filed and then select all the properties and move them to the left to make it unique. that does not work. The problem stems i have the same kind of project ids in the page but they do different things. I am trying to make them unique but its not working. help!! There are several objects in the system that match the recognition attributes of the "formDailyProofsAndAudits" mapped object. This may cause the "Object not found" error.

See Help for more information TC does not seem to recognize objects from the name mapping fieldsI am setting up my last page and it is getting frustrating. I am simply trying to validate the labels on the page and TC is not cooperating! I use object spy to look at a label. It is successful. I click one button and the label is highlighted. I click another and find it in the object browser. I click the object in teh object browser and it still finds the object in the page. So then I assign a value to name_mapping as it is not currently there. So i verify in mapped name is present in the aliases. it takes me to the mapped objects. Once I am at the mapped objects link, i then attempt to find the object in the page which has not changed. I get the following message: The underlying object does not exist. This is really annoying. I go back to the objects page and it is there. It takes me to name mapping tab and i find the name i assigned it. when I cright click and try to highlight object in browser it fails again. HELP! An error occurred while calling the "innerText" method or property of the "Confirm_PW_label" object. The object or one of its parent objects does not exist.

This would record fine but playback always fails. keeps telling me: There are several objects in the system that match the recognition attributes of the "iexplore1" mapped object. This may cause the "Object not found" error. Objects Sys.Process("iexplore") Sys.Process("iexplore", 2) Sys.Process("iexplore", 3) To solve the problem, you may need to modify mapping settings for the "iexplore1" object or one of its parent objects. See Help for more information So I go to the object browser and determine that i have 3 version of iexplore there. Whenever I do record and play i make sure my ie tabs are closed, leaving only the app under test. Is there anyway I can force the object browser to recognize the iexplore as 1 and not have multiple versions present? This would solve my problem. I even tried re-recording but when i use object spy, it point to one of the other iexplore versions out there sys.process("iexplore") sys.process("iexplore",2) sys.process("iexplore",3) is there anyway i can suppress the other other 2 versions of iexplore? Re: Not all underlying objects are being picked up by testcomplete 8.7forgot to add, change the png back to doc to see the file in wordNot all underlying objects are being picked up by testcomplete 8.7ie8 windows 7 I can record and play to the point see you in the attached document. All i basically want to be able to is have it recognize my drop down menu. and it fails time and time I want to be able to select a file from the dropdown and press get report.

I hope somebody out there can help me. I have a lot of pages with this similar type of dropdown occurs any ideas?
