Two things I see.

First, tables I have as DT in ASM (you didn't say which language you're 
using). Then again, I'm using tables such as "dt 0,1,1,2,3,3,....etc" as 
opposed to separate lines.

Second, you need a "RLNCF WREG,1" line before the table since PIC18s use 
two-byte counters. Again, this is in ASM, but you should need to do the 
same thing in any language (multiply the index by 2).

When I used separate lines, each one was using a RETLW then the data.

Not sure if this will help or not, but it may spark the answer as has 
happened to me several times on the list.
