Hi, Stacey, You can only interact with one table at a time. However, if you have VO set up to interact when the tab key is pressed, this makes things much easier. You can find that setting in the VO Utility, navigation area. HTH, Teresa "Nobody ever tells me anything!"--James Forsyte, quoted in

Anyone Had Any Luck Using ZTerm in Lion With Notetakers?
