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.

Thats perfect, administrator such as myself can access those books directly 
from the URL, and can be used as an archive logbook running in sync with the 
live one, so hold records such as completed tickets in a request system once 
completed can be moved to the archive logbook.

Cheers fella  that is gonna help me a great deal.

The message stating the URL is still in this forum: elog:233

No, unfortunately not (yet). I'm still working on the problem described in 
elog:309. This "lock" icon only shows you in the logbook selection page which 
logbooks are public and which are protected by passwords (was another 
request).

Is it possible to make the logbook summary screen sort differently
 
For example on a customer name field it displays as follows :-

AEF
AXA
Abc
Acd
Ade
Aef
aaa
aab

Its sorting alphabetically but is putting upper case characters before 
their lower case equivalents, which in a customer list where lots of 
initials are used its making the list look non sorted rather than truely 
based on the character regardless of case.

Thanks in advance.
