Window Close Button 1

[nickperez22]

Is there a way I can block the user from closing the program by using the windows close button in the upper right hand corner of the window? I want the users to only be able to close the program through the close button I have on the form.

The technique here is to open a hidden form when the database opens and in that form's unload event test a public variable to see if it is OK to close. If not then set Cancel = true and the database cannot close. You can pop up a message box if you wish, telling the user what to do.

The public variable is set to false in the hidden form's open event and set to true only if the user closes using the Close Database button.
