Ok, two things I would suggest.
1. The best practice for coding in general would be to reuse as much as
possible, make your life easy. Record your test case as
-enter product code
-click image 1
-click image 2
then stop recording and use this code and encapsulate it. I would wrap it
in a function (or subroutine)
i.e.
Public Function productCodeTest()
Browser(Browser").Page("Page_4").WinEdit("product_Code").Set "12345"
Browser(Browser").Page("Page_4").Image("bt_select_1").click
Browser(Browser").Page("Page_4").Image("bt_select_2").click
End Function
you would then either link to an external excel sheet or use the data table
to hold your product code values and iterate through them all.
You would most likely need a driver function to loop through all the product
codes, a for loop that would call " productCodeTest" as per my example above
and iterate until all the product codes you want to test have been used.
2. And as was suggested it looks like you might have to use regular
expressions to find the two images you are describing as their initial
descriptions seem very similar and if QTP cant distinguish them. You can do
this in the Object repository, highlighting the element in question and
configure the values, there will be a check box to use regular expression.
let me know if this helps or if more details are needed
