I'll try increasing the list size(s), and will also prepare a simplified config file for you to look at.  Maybe there is a another way to implement what I am trying to achieve?  

In general terms I am trying to give an e-log a "memory" of what has been recorded previously in order to constrain what is permissible to record next.  I do this by starting a log with an initial entry, then alter the config so that users can add records only by duplicating the last record.  The log records the current state of some variables, and allows users to record changes to the state of any of these variables. Conditions are used to constrain the permitted state changes, depending on the current state; conditions are also used, with subst options, to update the current state variables when changes are made.

Specifically, we have "Mate-Demate" logs for connectors to record when connectors are mated and demated.  Previously we just had an attribute for each connector in an assembly with options "Mate", "Demate" and "-" to indicate that either a mate or demate was carried out or that the connector was not touched on this occasion (although others were).  My cunning plan was to ensure that a "Demate" (or no-op) was possible only if the connector is currently mated, and conversely that a "Mate" (or no-op) was possible only if the connector is currently demated.  For each connector (e.g. ConnectorA), there are now two attributes

• "ConnectorA state", to record the current state, and
• "ConnectorA" to record any change.

A new record can be created only by duplicating the last record, thus copying the current state of the connectors, and for each connector the relevant config file entries are like this:

Show Attributes = ConnectorA
Show Attributes Edit = ConnectorA state, ConnectorA
Locked Attributes = ConnectorA state
Preset on duplicate ConnectorA = -
Options ConnectorA state = Mate{1}, Demate{2}
{2} Options ConnectorA = -, Mate{3}
{1} Options ConnectorA = -, Demate{3}
{3} Subst ConnectorA state = $ConnectorA

What do you mean by "non-clickable column"? The column header for sorting, or
the column contents which brings you to the single entry page? For both of
them, there is no way right now to obtain that. Why do you want it?

I talk about the column contents. In fact on ELOG, we store password so its 
more easyer to click twice on it to select them and after to copy them instead 
of select from right to left the password and to try to copy them. The HMTL 
link gave problem, its more hard to copy data from HTML link than an normal TXT.
A little hard to explain sorry for my mistakes and explication I'm French :o).

I added a new option "Link display = ...", with which you can restrict the number of
attribues which gets a HTML link. If you put

Link display = ID, Author

then only the ID column and the colum with the Author are shown as HTML links, all
other are shown as simple text.

The new version is under CVS. This option will be included in the next release.

Great news :) !
thanks a lot !

Ah, that rings a bell. We recently had problems with large tables. Can you try the current version if you get the same problem?
