Now that creates an interesting display - especially with the icons and radio buttons. 
But it works!

Thanks.

What about grouping the archive logbooks into a logbook group? Like:

Group Pubilc = Logook1, Logbook2, ...
Group Archive = Archive1, Archive2, ...

So if a "normal" user is in the public group, it only sees Logoook1, ... and 
a single tab "archive", which is then (I hope) not too much to choose from.

I tried that but on the summary screen it displays a list of all the logbook 
regardless of group, also im not using public groups im using a seperate 
password file.

Ah, you mean by "summary screen" the initial logbook selection screen where 
each logbook is displayed in one line. For that case, I just added a 
flag "Hide from selection". If set to "1", this logbook is not dispalyed 
among the list of logbooks. Is this what you want? New version under CVS.

Yes thats wicked perfect, now im prob being thick but is there a way to hide 
logbook tabs in the same way, as i dont really want to use groups as the 
people that use the system arent really techie and the titles will confuse 
them :)

Im trying to make it idiot proof for them 

Cheers

Well, I changed the flag from "hide from selection = 1" to "hidden = 1", 
which hides it now also from the logbook selection tabs on the top row. But 
this means that the only way to access the hidden logbooks is by entering 
their URL directly (or from a bookmark). I'm not sure how useful this is...

New version under CVS.
