Nope. We have a Sharpe32 controller but have never felt the need to use the operator mode. We just make all of the programs read only and back them up on a seperate drive.

How do you make the programs read-only. I am trying to keep unwanted hands from messing with the programs.

That is impossible to do. The best you can do is keep them from SAVING the changes, which is what READ-ONLY does for the file. It is a windoze setting, right-click on the file, fo to properties, and mark the read only box.

Be advised that this causes problems and questions from operators when they try to 'close' a program. PC-DMIS saves the program when you choose close from the file menu. If a program is marked 'read-only', pc-dmis won't be able to save and will pop up with an error and then the 'save-as' window. The error can be avoided if you choose 'quit' instead of 'close'. If you don't think you can train the operators to do this, you can remove 'close' from the file menu. While you are at it, removing 'save' and 'save-as' wouldn't hurt either.
One more note on 'read-only' - it will not prevent the operator from opening a program, making changes and then trying to run the program (crash or bad data ensues). It will only keep them from saving those changes.
Please help. How can I password protect either the programs or the PCDMIS Online. I know the PCDMIS Operator restricts editing. However there's nothing...
