Now when I connect my kobo I get a box asking for reading position changes but I cannot type anything into any boxes. Obviously I'm getting there but still a way to go!!

What I am trying to accomplish is to have Calibre sync my reading status when I connect my kobo. Thanks and sorry for being a newbie. I will learn fast!
If you are getting the prompt I think you are getting, then what hleo12 said is correct. This displays the changes in reading status of the books on the device that match books in the library. The idea is to give you a chance to see what has changed and maybe reject some or all of them.

The dialog will show the books title and author. the percent read and last read date that the calibre library has and the percent read and last read date from the device. Mostly I just press the "OK" button, but occasionally I don't want an update for a book because I accidently opened it. In those cases, I find the book in the library and send the status back to the device.

If you are seeing something else, can you take a screen shot and post it? That should tell me what is happening.
