Hi Peter,
It is a generally accepted practice by screen readers to associate text
adjacent to a text box as being a Label if it has a colon after it. I rather
suspect that adding a colon will resolve the issue.
(And knowing the implications of this in the Strings system, I shall openly
state here that I refuse all responsibility for your increased blood pressure
if I'm proved wrong! - Big Smile!)
George.
