Hi Neil,
Try to use:
"file name:=bt_select\.jpg"
index: 0
"file name:=bt_select\.jpg",
index:1 //you can use location as well
and give to the image objects normal names (as
Page("Kiosk").Image("Find Product"), Page("Kiosk").Image("Add To
Basket") ), not bt_select_3. It adds all the confusion to the
discussion.
If you have only two images, it will work
