Stefan, not a problem. ITMT, any idea how I can manually clear this "lock"? Is it embedded in the logbook itself?


I would recommend to remove the Restrict edit time = 0.5 temporarily from your config file, then edit this entry, the clicking Back instead of Submit (since you don't really want to edit the entry). This removes the lock, and you can re-enable the Restrict edit time = 0.5 in the config file.

Our eLog is set to create logbook entry locks and after 30minutes prevent one from re-editing an entry, thus forcing a REPLY to be created.

SCENARIO: When an *attempt* is made to edit a logbook after the 30minute timer, one gets the message that EDITING is prevented and to use the browser "Back" button.

PROBLEM: The display now shows that particular entry to be locked, even though the attempt to edit was blocked. It appears that the lock flag is set prior to the "Edit" attempt being blocked and thus the lock flag is never "unset".


I fixed this problem and committed it to CVS. It will be contained in the next release.
