QTP - Shared Object Repository (SOR)

Question: Using QTP, added objects to the Shared Object Repository (SOR), notice that some of the screen names were not unique (DQR1, DQR2) so we updated the screen names is the SOR, example: DQR1_EmailGrp or DQR2_State Mailing. When we run the test script in QTP, the object is in the SOR but QTP does not recognize the screen names, so it creates and goes to local repository. So instead of using the SOR all the scripts in QTP are using local repository. Is there a way to use the SOR? so that all test scripts go to this repository?????? Thanks
