Well, I meant to say after I had reversed them they looked like this:
sleep 10
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).Focused = True
dObj.Control("lvResults").Focus
When I had them arranged in this order, things always spoke for me in my
limited tests.
I can't tell; did you try my suggestion and it failed to work for you?

So you're saying:
sleep 10
dObj.Control("lvResults").Focus
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).Focused = True
still doesn't speak anything here.
This is pretty mind-boggling.
