It turned out to be a setting of our re-routing of requests that re-escaped the '%'. Sorry for the noise. Cheers

I think the first option is the better one, having the first columns data in 
the list be linkable for example i am using this to store customer 
configuration and the list needs to be in alphabetical order so it has to be 
the first column but needs to be linkable :)

Would be nice if you can specify which columns data has links as a flag or 
setting of some sorts, as opposed to either the first or all, but given a 
choice I would want the first column to be the linkable one 

My config looks like this

Display search = Customer Name, Account ID, Author, Date, #

I think the better option is first item (being the first column entries) all 
have links to the logbook entries (which is how it was in the previous 
version)

I resolved this problem, many thanks for your help

Lets say you are storing configuration information relating to a customers 
solution, you need the ability to track who has made what changes to the 
config information stored in the log book so you can backtrack who changed 
what and when, for example

If you have a field name called Last Edited by this field is locked and not 
editable using the Lock attributes flag, but if you had Subt on edit 
everytime that entry is updated it places your login name into this field and 
therefore stamps it to say you have edited it, as the field isnt free txt it 
cant be spoofed as the $long_name comes from your login details.

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to have several drop down menus associated with a particular field. My problem is as follows, currently I have a particular field where its value is a name of a person obtained from a list of names from a drop down menu. However, I would like to be able to select on certain occasions more than one name from this same drop down list of names. 

The field name in question is "Call-out" as in the name of a person called out. I guess I could add another field say "Call-out 2" and have a drop down menu of names for this new field too but I would like to avoid this if possible. So I would like possiby to have two (or more) drop down menus side by side for this Call-out field which would each populate this one field with the names selected (if any) from each drop down menu. This way if only an a selection is made from the first drop down menu then it should work as it does currently but if an entry was also selected from the second drop down menu then both names should populate the field when the log is complete.

I hope I have been clear in my question/request? Many thanks in advance for any help or suggestions received.
