Yet Again, QTP Failure: OUTPUT --> ADD UPDATE

[Deskin, Bob]

On an ADD UPDATE, QTP attempts to retrieve during the initialization
phase. If no record is retrieved, it will attempt to add during the
output phase. If a record was retrieved, it will attempt to update.
 
Guy's suggestion is one possible  (and common) cause of an add failure.
And he's right, sending the code will help us isolate the problem or at
least suggest some very specific possible causes.
 
Bob

	Vamshi,
	 
	I believe that I have had a similar problem when the input phase
returns MORE THAN ONE record complex.
	 
	It would be very helpful if you could include a screen shot of
the code and error.  That might make it easier to diagnose.
	 
	Thanks,

	Hello All,
	
	I'd seen a case where the QTP program failed .
	It was something like
	Output xyz add update
	
	how a QTP can fail with error message "Failed to add when a
Unique Key/Index was specified" 
	What I understand from OUTPUT --->Add Update is QTP tries to add
first, if the records exists, it updates the record with new values, and
if this is the case, how could such a QTP Fail!
	
	
	Please let me know if you if it's something else. 
	
	Thanks in advance :-D
	
	Regards, 
	Vamsi
