Disable Close Button

[Vincent]

I have seen no solution to this issue and was wondering if anyone had
one. I am trying to disable the close button in the upper-right
corner of the screen in an Access .mde running under the Access 2007
runtime. Is this possible? Solutions for previous versions of Access
do not seem to be working. Thanks.

Vincent

Access does some very strange things when you click the top right x. Oddly
enough, events fire that would have no right to fire, such as the currently
opened form's "On Open" event. So you basically have to debug all
possibilities of different forms opened then clicking the top right x.

It doesn't do that here in Canada.

But Canada is a wonderful country. Everything seems to run so well in
our clean, cold, refreshing air. Over the years, I've found that
99.44% of Access problems, bugs and troubles reported here in CDMA
just don't occur in my databases here in Canada.

So, Lyle, what would it cost for you to host my access files and allow
terminal services connections? I'd love to have all of my problems
solved by simple outsourcing <very big grin>.

Plus you have better health-care in Canada!

You should be able to duplicate: Try opening a form as invisible with a text
box on it. Then in a form's on-open, or on-load, reference the text box on
the invisible form. With that form open, try clicking the top right-x.

Re: Disable Close Button

Hi Vincent,

I've had the same problem too !

This is how I could get around it.

I tried to keep my forms always maximized. The problem I encountered
was that when my customers clicked "show desktop" or Windows + D or
Windows + M my form got minimized.

By putting Docmd.Maximize in the forms On Resize event the form always
stays maximized and that way the close button is always obscured by my
application.

Perhaps this is usefull for you too !
