QTP choose problem

[arthur kogan]

Hi Richard,

I have not checked this out in the manual, but it looks to me that the problem
occurs because "choose" is done before any "define"s. Thus at the time of doing
the "choose", the defined value does not yet exist. Thus you are getting an
error.

NOTE: if this is a QTP, you should use a "global temp" instead of the "define".
Global temps are always processed first, i.e. BEFORE any "choose"s or
"define"s.
