Okay I figured this one out.
When saving the shared object repository, you can delete the default
name (which uses the unwanted title values), and hard-name it to
something else. eg:
Browser("OurBrowser").Page("OurPage")
...then modifying your checkpoints to use these values (don't forget
to delete the local object inserted by QTP when recording a
checkpoint!) will result in the test going to the shared repository
and finding the appropiate object.
thanks,
