I have been searching for a possible solution to my problem and not had a whole lot of luck. For starters I have 7107 silver advantage CMM with 2014.1 PC DMIS. My problem is that i need a way to ask for an operator input of "YES" or "NO" without the operator having the ability to use the "Cancel" button that is in the input pop up screen. I need a definitive way to get a YES or NO answer without the operator being able to hit cancel and stop the program instead of answering. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I understand that they can still use the e-stop. i can explain in a little more detail the reason behind why i need what this setup. The company i work for does not use data page, and the way we gather and store our data is through our Hertzler system. At the very end of the program we have a tail made up of variables that go through and grab all the significant data that they want and stores them into those variables. Those variables are then sent through a program and made into a format that our hertzler program can understand. I know its a very round about method and it is very far from ideal. My boss wants me to set up a way for the operator to be able to say yes get this data and send it to our hertzler system or no do not send it to hertzler system and skip over our data variable tail. By skiping over the data tail it still stores our layout sheet in a paperless file on network so we can look back if we need to but doesn't go into our master system. If an operator hits the cancel button during that question then the program ends where it is and no data is captured what so ever in our paperless file or master system. So they want me to try and idiot proof this process by taking the away the ability for the operator to cancel the program, at least as much as possible.
see my previous post, it will work like a champ. After the IF/GOTO as shown, you simply add a label at the END of the program, past all that data collection stuff, and then use NO-NUTS (NO) value to send it to the label at the end of the program.
