Object properties changing - not found in OR - tmcken - 04-21-2009

I looked all over & can't find an answer or else I missed it.
I added an object (lets say a popup in IE) via recording to the OR. During the run most of the time QTP 9.2 finds the object in the OR. However, sometimes it can't. If I check the properties of the popup, the properties for the popup have changed for this one instance.

This is the script:

Code:
If browser("IEopen").dialog(Microsoft IE)".Winbutton("OK").Exist(1) Then

browser("IEopen").dialog(Microsoft IE)".WinButton("OK").click

end if

For those instances where the same popup properties have changed in the OR it will register as:

Code:
browser("IEopen_2").dialog("Microsoft IE").WinButton("OK")

Is there a way to tell the code to search the OR for another entry without having to stop the run and register another OR object?

I even tried this, but no luck:

Code:
browser("name:=IEopen*").dialog("name:=Microsoft IE*").WinButton("name:=OK*")

Thanks.

You can click on the option where no new instance of an object will be created and it will update in the same object tree.
just rename "IEopen_2" to "IEopen" and it should work.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying? I understand that the object can be moved to another location in the OR & rename it. Please clarify. Thanks.

Put each object in the same hierarchy and no different instance like IEopen_2 should be created.
This will resolve the issue.
