Cool! I'll try them out today. Thanks Scott!

I've already got the htm file. Its one of the downloadable examples from the second article. They are a good point from which I would adapt what we want anyway.

Thanks,
Greg

I'm more than happy to do testing. I was envisaging the simplest way would be to have PWB refer to a particular print template which we can swap in and out. eg. 'DefaultPrint.htm'.

Sound reasonable?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Scott, Does PWB already use a Print Template? I ask because I'm interested in introducing custom Print Templates for our PCs. I'm not sure on a technical level whether this requires implementation within PWB, or if I can do it from outside and interrupt the relevant messages. Of course if PWB alr...

Hi Scott, Thanks for the reply. It certainly would be helpful. At the moment our security software dumps data into the log file using our (Australian) format DD/MM/YYand PWB is logging American formats MM/DD/YY. They still work, but some of our staff who only access the logs once in a blue moon are ...

Does PWB write to its history file using mm/dd/yy format or does it check the computer's regional settings?

Completely unrelated to PWB, but Windows also has a policy setting "NoFileURL" you can set per user, so that windows won't allow PWB to look at any drives.

Aaahh! I AM blind

I've noticed that PWB seems to reset the text size to medium when it loads, whilst IE doesn't. Was this intended? I can't seem to find any settings associated with it (although I could be blind).

Just thought I'd mention how stoked I am with the new dialog boxes. With some simple HTML they look fantastic, and a lot of our staff have commented on how they give the system a more professional look. Well done! Just a point about them though. I noticed that the "ButtonOK" and "Butt...

OK, thanks

Hi Scott, Have you considered allowing administrators to specify a username/password for PWB to use when writing to files like the history? This would allow us to set read-only access (or no access) to all of the important files unless using the appropriate access. Then we just add a user to the dom...

There is also a registry entry called 'noFileUrl' you can set to stop this. Just as an alternative solution.

Greg

Hi spragers, I wrote a little perl script to make all of our registry changes remotely from an admin computer. I use it to enable/disable security settings quickly, but it could be used in situations like this, plus you can specify exactly which PCs you want to effect. Of course, eventually Scott co...

A thought just occurred to me: Dependent on your OS, you could even eliminate read access to the files and run PWB using different credentials. XP offers a pretty simple means of doing this, and there are several tools available to make the process more automated and secure in a public environment. ...
