Hi all, Thanks for he help with this. Strange, I didn't get to follow any of your instructions but the next time I started my computer VO started in the log on screen.
About things in lists being in tables - how will I know it's a table? VO didn't seem to say it was a table in that dialogue...but basically whenever you want to do anything like that you interact with it...
