I would be too lucky if I just could fix this as I fix some ELOG problems! I guess hundreds of physicists right now are pondering about what could have gone wrong in data taking, because nobody really believes that this is a real effect. 

 Got it to work, manipulating the files was not that hard once I got over the FEAR factor.  Good luck with the speed of light thing.

 Well done Mike!

One result is that I've also learnt things, realised that there are some known unknowns and perhaps some unknown unknowns in my

understanding of Elog.

Sorry for the novice question, but can anyone tell me where the ".txt" document is suppose to reside for the "Preset text" statement to find it? I have a "test.txt" document in the "Template" file but all "Preset text = test.txt" does is print "test.txt" in the comment section.

Thanks,  Mike

I always chose the safe solution: I provide the full path to the document. For example (under Linux):

Preset text = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/inc/test.txt

Hi,

I try to configure the elog as servers log book.  I need to devide the text entry area by 2 section: 1 for issue so I can put in detail what is the issue of my servers.  the other section below the 1st one for solution.  is it posible to do so?

The easiest is to put a horizontal line into the entry ...

...like this one. This can even be done via "Preset text =" so it comes by default on a new entry.
