Retaining private views after server refresh

[LBryant777]

I created several private views from a Notes db so that I can update a daily report by just glancing at a view and not opening every record. Every couple of months, Notes Admin does a db refresh and my private views disappear with the old version of the db. Isn't there a way to keep my private views which should be saved on my desktop anyway and just get the data and public views refreshed? Appreciate all the assistance I can get...

Hello,
Open your DB in Domino Designer. Right-click the View, Design Properties, Design Tab, click the "Prohibit Design Refresh or replace to modify" check box.
Hope this helps.

When I try to open the database in Designer, it tells me that I don't have sufficient rights to the db. Does this mean that I won't be able to restrict the view refresh?

You would need to be a Manager of the DB. What is your current ACL?

I do not have manager access. I only have editor access with these rights: Create documents, Read public documents, Write public documents, Replicate or copy documents.

Do I have any other options? Some other facts:

I am a telecommuter, so I seldom go into the office. This database contains 3000 - 3500 records that can change weekly. There are at least 3 more like this one that I have this issue with and I am only editor of all of them.

Let me know if this is still a possible task.
