Cannot write value to table - Given row \'n\' does not exist

[Smiffy]

I have a table called "MsgList" defined in a panel that has 6 columns and 10 rows.
The columns are named "Number", "Type", "Config", "Entry Time", "Exit Time" and "Ack Time".
The rows are named "#1","#2","#3","#4","#5","#6","#7","#8","#9" and "#10".
The table object has the Initliise script below (whicj I got from the help files).
main()
{
shape MsgList = getShape("MsgList");
dyn_string pMsgList;

pMsgList[1]="111";
pMsgList[2]="white";
pMsgList[3]="black";
MsgList.cellValueRC(0, "Number", pMsgList);
}

For some reason that I cannot figure, this does not work. I get the following warning in the log file and no value appears in the table.
58/uim, MsgList.cellValueRC (TABLE), Given row '0' does not exist

I have tried other row references in place of the 0 such as 1,2,3 etc. This still does not work as it says that row '1','2','3' etc. do not exist.
I have also tried using the table reference by replacing the 0 in the cellValueRC call with '#1','#2','#3' but that didn't work either.

Any ideas as I am stuck?
The help text does hint about having to use a setValue call before using the cellValueRC call, but rather unhelpfully does not show this in the example.

Whatever you define in Gedi for the rows, initially the table is still empty in Vision, so you first have to add a row.
Try e.g. MsgList.appendLines(10); to append 10 empty lines (or use any other function to add a row).
