> All GUIs should have a tool tip explaining why something is greyed out and what needs to be done to make it active (and it needs to be *useful* information, not just "it doesn't apply" or "you're not allowed to do that now" --- it's obvious the *application* thinks that because it's greyed out).  In this case, I did a search against our ldap server, found an attribute that needed removing and did so.  Then I did another search.  This time the font changed to italic, and when I go to delete an attribute, Delete is greyed out.  There is no clue anywhere as to what's going on.  I searched in help for the ldap browser, and found very little.
