I guess this question got somehow lost.
So once again : Is there a possibility to EDIT an existing message with 
elog.exe ?

We did some tests of your elog utility. It does what we need except for one 
important thing: EDIT existing messages. Is there a way to edit en existing 
message? Adding a new message or replying to an existing message works fine 
but in our case we need to have the ability to modify messages that were 
created in the past.

Sure, that's what the "Config Examples" logbook is for. Just click on the 
tab on top of this page. The forum you will find 
under elog:Config%20Examples/4 .

In the Config Examples logbook you mentioned a forum.css.  Do you have a 
link to that css and others?

Thanks

I fixed that problem. The new version 2.3.7 released today contains the fix.

When I say "under CVS", I mean what I said in elog:233. The new version I 
will release probably next week.

Thanks Ill grab it tomorrow and try it,

when is the new version out btw ?

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.

I added some code experimentally to avoid double editing. Whenever a message 
is edited, a "stop" sign is displayed in the message list next to the edited 
messages and a warning is issued on the single message display page. If the 
original editing has been given up (browser closed) one can just ignore this 
message. I prefer this solution in comparision with a real locking, since 
the mechanisms for unlocking a stale message by the administrator is not 
necessary. Get the newest code from CVS, get also themes/default/stop.gif to 
display the stop sign, and let me know what you think.
