Script button has been greyed out since install.

I assume you installed a DIAdem BASE version - which doesn't have the ability to access the Script panel.

You can still run Scripts in the BASE version, but you can't record or edit Scripts using the BASE version of DIAdem.

Otmar,

Thank you for the replu. you are correct. I hadn't realized the Base version doesn't offer this.

I'm just getting into the training sessions, but perhaps you can give sme foreshadowing: is it possible to write scripts elsewhere, and then run in DIAdem? I see that the base version supports "running scripts created in DIAdem Advanced or Professional packages". I'm curious whether scripts can be written elsewhere and then imported to DIAdem.

Thanks again

Hello huffmanm,

You can use any ASCII editor, write a Script there, and then save it as a VBS file and run it from a DIAdem BASE version.

A lot of useful features (such as syntax highlighting, debugging, context sensitive help, and - new in version 2015 - the Script Profiler) will not be available to you, but in theory any ASCII editor should work.

thank you for the reply!
