Is there a (simple) way to prevent the accidental deletion of a script?

kom

Hi all,

I have a simple script set up to generate multiple charts for Operators (upon manual entry of data into a data table).

On a couple of occasions, the Operators have accidentally deleted the entire script function.

Does anyone know of a simple way to 'lock' and prevent the accidental deletion of the 'play button' in a Data Table?

A simple way might involve training the operators about the importance of the script and the integrity of the data table. Do you know how they delete the script? Do they right-click on the script and select Delete?

 

You could write another script that repairs the damaged data table by adding the table script back to the data table.

 

Another simple way would be to move the script to a new location. You could add a menu command or a button on a toolbar or create an add-in for the script. It would still be possible to be deleted but much more unlikely for a script saved this way, unless the operator were attempting to sabotage the script.
