    Close API Fonts

    Help with with the API - Calling Windows Choose Font Dialog

    Found on The Access Web

    http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0061.htm


    The code was originally written by Terry Kreft,
    and modified by Stephen Lebans and many thanks to them

    Problem - If I don't close the font window and select another option
    button or try and close my program with the font window open the
    system locks up.

    I need some way of either forcing the user to close the font window
    before moving to another location or closing the API through code.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

          The font window shuts properly in my code when closed by user
          properly. When user tries to close the program without shutting the
          font window or tries to access another option button the open font
          window is hidden. Without closing the font icon on the toolbar the
          system freezes. As the test program supplied on the database does not
          have other options you cannot see this but if you try and close
          without shutting the font window the computer seems to lock up on the
          test program
