For some reason it looses the "m" so line 5 instead of having
"hh:mm" has "hh: m"


Please ideas ;)

I will attempt to use an active x script in a DTS package on SQL Server to parse
the xml and load it into the database. I can see where CSV has it's limitations.

The text of a log message is usually several lines long. To my knowledge, CSV
only allows single line values, that's why I excluded the text field from the
CSV export. This is different in the XML export, which supports multi-line
values. If you teach me however how multi-line values can be represented in
CSV format, I could easily add that.

As for the attachment, do you just need a name, or a URL back to the logbook?
Should the pointer be in the form "http://elog.server/logbook/attachment.jpg"
or in HTML form like <a href="http:/...">attachment</a> ?

Is there any way to include the text of a log message in the CSV export? 
Anyway to include a pointer to the attachment?

BTW, the current url (taht should be perfectly well formed makes the elog not to

the bug is also a "documentation bug", infact similar tricks are also
in FAQs (FAQ 5 for example)

I tried to substitute avery occurrence of hard coded "&" with "&amp;" but it does
not do the job at all ... infact the first time the HTML code is ok, but
following a link let the browser to automatically decode html entities .. and
everything turns wrong again ... maybe the encoding should be done in
printing-to-the-browser-time ..
