Hi, Sorry, I must have been unclear. You are correct in that interacting is needed for determining the row number. The Status bar is only available at the bottom of the window itself, not within scroll areas or tables. So, VO was announcing correctly, but you need to back out of any scroll areas, tables etc before making your way to the Status bar.

Command Slash didn't do anything except say Show or Hide Status Bar. I had to interact with a row in the table, got a tree view, went to the bottom of the list, pressed VO R and got that row number. Kind of a twisted method, but I got the answer I needed.
