Thanks Jeff, this is good. You say it does not break at any consistent point. Do you mean it can stop in a different place for a given test script, or that it varies in an unpredictable way from test-to-test?
One thing to do just to get ahead of the curve a little would be to create a "working" test with a huge repeat and let that run this weekend. This will at least let me know if we have a leak to fix in addition to our playback issues. The ballot station operates largely the same whether the test is with one ballot or eight.
I will try to come up with a way for you to vary the repeat as part of fixing this.
Ken

> I am back to trying the Record/Playback Feature. I have made up several different scripts with 6 ballots. The first script runs all 6 ballots only 1 time through, and this works fine. I have tried 2 other scripts of 6 ballots, 1 with a repeat of 15, and another with a repeat of 90. Both have failed, the 15 repeat stops after the 3rd ballot, and the 90 repeat stops at the summary page of the 2nd ballot.
> As you can see from the thread below, I did the 1 ballot test with a repeat of 16 and that worked fine. It seems to be a combination of number of ballots & number of loops. However, it does not break at any consistent point.
> If I were able to create 1 script, and then able to change the number of loops, without having to record the script again, I might be able to narrow it down a bit, but either way there is a problem of some kind.
