Q:

QTP question on the identification of image

I have this image is a childitem in a cell of webtable, like Brower -> Page -> Webtable -> Link -> Image.  After added this image in the repository, I try to add "file name" too in the description properties.  Then when highlight it, turn out that it cannot be found on the page.  I just could not understand why.  Could someone please explan this to me?  
Many thanks in advance

A:

Sounds like you had an ordinal selector which is bigger than the set of objects that match the new description. 
e.g. Say the description was html tag:=img, alt:="" this matched 10 links and your link was #6 so the ordinal identifier would be 6.  Now you added the filename and it matches only 2 objects.  When QTP tries to identify the object it will see there are multiple matches and try to use the ordinal.  But the ordinal is bigger than the number of elements matched so the object can not be identified. 
You must either: 

Make your description unique (so the ordinal will not be used) or
Update the ordinal in the description

I hope I guessed you problem correctly.
