I moved my elog install to a new box on short notice due to an emergency, everything works but none of the passwords are recognized, and are not using what it set in elogd.cfg.  any ideas ?

You did not specify which version of elog you were using. There was recently an update which uses a new format in the password file. When you start this the first time, the program should convert automatically from the old format to the new format and thus increasing security. If this does not work for some reason, so can do password recovery using the "Forgot password?" link in the login page. 

It looks like the newest windows release of elog at
http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/windows/ is 2.81.

  elog281-1.exe	        23-Dec-2010 11:42 3.1M
  elog-latest.exe       23-Dec-2010 11:42 3.1M

Can you post the 2.90 release.

Thanks.

Yepp, done. I somehow overlooked it.

Is there a way to open a form or table when clicking on New rather than going to a text field? Thanks, TS!

I am attempting to setup an ECR (Engineering Change Review/Request) process in ELOG.

I have a logbook setup so that an original request is submitted with a status of "Approval Pending"

Options ECR Status = Approval Pending, Approved / In Progress, Completed / In QA, Closed

Once the entry is made, it is reviewed by several people who reply to the original entry and update the approval fields, adding any comments as a reply :

Options OPS Approval = Approved, Denied
Options ENG Approval = Approved, Denied
Options Director Approval = Approved, Denied

Once the final approval is obtained, they reply to the thread and update the ECR Status field to "Approved / In Progress"

This goes through our QA process, and is finaly updated with "Closed"

The problem is, I would like to keep the historical data of when the status of these entries are made. For example, in the message thread, I can see that reply #4 changed the "Status" field to "Approved". However, I can not seem to find a way for this to work with quick filtering. The quick filter always filters on the first entry on a thread, and not the last.

The other option would be to change the status of the first entry, but that seems silly as I am using replys instead of edits.

Any ideas on how to implement this "Status" field into my workflow? I am even open to losing the historical "status" and beeing able to change all entries on the thread on reply. (i.e. Reply #4 changes "Status" to "Approved", and the system changed all entries in the thread to "Approved")

 The HTML editor contains a table editor such as this:

Just click on the menu with the little table icon
