Hi Andrea and thank you soo much  for your kind and prompt reply! I believe the issue will be solved as I have the information I need to proceed. I was just wanting to verify that sorting indeed is alloud on ALL fields.  I cannot send the exact config as it is a work project, but I can replicate with fake fields and data if necessary in the future. I believe my errors are because I am either using field names which are 'special' to the system, or some other limitation. I will try compiling and see if that helps.

 Connect your PC to the internet and tell everybody the URL. Make sure the Windows Firewall allows remote access.

I could never get shell execution work when elogd is started as a service. This has probably to do with system permissions or so under Windows. If anybody has a clue, please let me know. Under Linux this works nicely, but this is probably not an option for you...

Show Attributes = Admin, Hostname, IP-Adresse, Funktion, RIB Hostname, RIB IP

hides the attributes in the New/edit mode, but unfortunately also in the detailed view.

Hello Mr. Ritt,

I've changed the category to "Request" because I think it would be practical
if I can hide the attributes which are build on values of other attributes with
"Change".

Have you tried

Show Attributes = Admin, Hostname, IP-Adresse, Funktion, RIB Hostname, RIB IP

???

Does it bother you if then the attributes are also hidden in the detailed view?

No, I havn't tried it, because it's the only way where I can see ALL attributes, and
I belief, that it works to hide the attributes on all views.

Here an Example:

I have 5 attributes where I can enter values, and 5 addtitional attributes build on them.
I can't see all of them in list view, so the only way to see/use them is the detailed view.
But because there is no value to insert/change these attributes should be hidden in NEW/EDIT mode.
As an workaround I LOCK/FIX these attributes so I can't insert values, but there are now many empty lines.
So if you can implement this functionality it would be great, but if not it's not so bad, 
I can "live" with it ;)

Holger

I implemented a "Hide attributes = ..." option, with which you can do what you requested, but unfortunately I'm
sitting here in Siberia and have only limited internet access, so I can only submit the modification next weekend.
