Disabling the "X" Close Application button in Access 2003 1

[BobChesh]

How do I disable the "X" Close Application button in Access 2003?

I am trying to see who is logged on the the database (found that through thread 705-846343) and there is a link to another thread, but that is broken.

I need to prevent users from closing the application using the "X" and forcing them to use the EXIT button which then deletes them from the Users Login in table.

The X close button for the actual access application or for a form that is being displayed as the application?

I am looking to disable the application, since I have an "exit" button which closes the application (Application.Quit), after it deletes that user from the UserTbl created when the application is opened, if you see what I mean.

 

[PHV]

A common way is to have an hidden startup form and a global boolean variable.
The "exit" button Click event procedure set the boolean to True and the Unload event procedure of the startup form sets the Cancel parameter to True unless the global boolean is true.

Hope This Helps, PH.

As it's the application I was going to suggest the API route, but AceMan beat me to it...
