Access 2007 Runtime Error When Clicking Access Close Button

Re: Access 2007 Runtime Error When Clicking Access Close Button

I had trouble with errors when the user would click the top right x to exit
the program as well. I ended up putting message boxes in all the form events
that I had coded to see what was going on. Strangely enough, events fire
that you think would have no business firing when closing the objects and
application. For example, if you have FormCustomers open, and they click the
top-right x, you'll be surprised to see things firing like
FormCustomers_O pen or FormCustomers_L oad. Things that really should have no
business firing seem to fire (I wouldn't think open or load events would
fire when closing down, would you?).

Hopefully the trick with putting message boxes on all the events of the form
in question (or even report) will help. Once you see which events are
firing, you can check the code on the events and possibly add some "On
error resume next's" or something like:

on error goto ErrRtn

'
'
'
ErrRtn:
exit sub
end sub

Terry,

Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately neither option appears
to solve the problem.

The MS link relates to Access 2000. I have successfully disabled the
Access Close button in Access 2003, but the same code does not produce
the same result in Access 2007.

Your posted code successfully disables the Minimise button on the
Access container form, but has no apparent effect on the Restore or
Close buttons.

Any further inspiration welcomed!

Regards, Tony.

Re: Access 2007 Runtime Error When Clicking Access Close Button

The code from MS works (A2K version) in runtime A2007. It disabled but not
invisible leaving the Min and Max enabled.

The code from Terry Kreft works if your format is A2K. Maybe it's because the
format is accb?

I don't have full A2007, so can't help much.

Regards, Tony.

The response to which you replied was not made by Terry. The quoted
code was from Terry.

You might try these functions. They work in Access 2007 for me.

Declare Function GetWindowLong& Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA " _
(ByVal hwnd&, ByVal nIndex&)
Declare Function SetWindowLong& Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA " _
(ByVal hwnd&, ByVal nIndex&, ByVal dwNewLong&)
Const GWL_STYLE = (-16)
Const WS_CAPTION = &HC00000

Public Function DisableTitleBar Controls()
Dim AccessWindowHan dle&
Dim WindowStatus&
AccessWindowHan dle = Access.hWndAcce ssApp
WindowStatus = GetWindowLong(A ccessWindowHand le, GWL_STYLE)
WindowStatus = WindowStatus And (Not WS_CAPTION)
SetWindowLong AccessWindowHan dle, GWL_STYLE, WindowStatus
MsgBox "Title Bar Icons and Control Box Disabled", vbInformation
End Function

Public Function EnableTitleBarC ontrols()
Dim AccessWindowHan dle&
Dim WindowStatus&
AccessWindowHan dle = Access.hWndAcce ssApp
WindowStatus = GetWindowLong(A ccessWindowHand le, GWL_STYLE)
WindowStatus = WindowStatus Or WS_CAPTION
SetWindowLong AccessWindowHan dle, GWL_STYLE, WindowStatus
MsgBox "Title Bar Icons and Control Box Enabled", vbInformation
End Function

I believe that it's wise to craft one's database so that the use of
these and similar functions is unnecessary. Were I driven to it, I'd
probably "grey" the buttons out instead of having them disappear.

I strrongly urge you and anyone else who might want to use these to
study them and read about them carefully. Do a search on the API
functions. Before one uses any code, one should have an understanding
of what it does, and how it does it.
