Disable Close Button

[jclark33]

Is there anyway to prevent a user from closing access while a form is open?

Searching for an answer to such a common question within this forum is such a novel idea.

Enable/Disable The Control Box X Button

you could of course also just set the form popup to yes

That only works for me if Modal is also Yes.

Perhaps a limitation of Access 95

Since you cannot prevent a reboot or power failure, you really shouldn't spend a lot of effort to prevent something that it is not possible to prevent. Put the effort into making sure that nothing bad happens if the db is closed while the form is open.

I am also wanting to disable the application close button with my 2013 version of Access. I have not had any success yet with what I have tried. Do you have any suggestions?

Please don't post the same question over and over again. This is like the third thread I've found this on.

I understand but it goes against forum ettiquette and, potentially a banning offense by the mods if they warn and then it happens again. So, just letting you know that you're likely going to piss some people off if you do that.

Okay I won't use this forum anymore then. It's not worth it.

Wow, sorry to hear and I thought we were working your issue. But just an FYI - most forums will have the same rules and stuff so you'd be running away into the same situation. But if you have your mind made up. I guess that's your choice.

I just don't want attitude problems from people is all. I don't mean any harm I just want to fix my problem.

What attitude problems? If there are any of those it would be caused by you not following normal forum ettiquette which is going to be the same no matter which forum you visit. So, if you post multiple times somewhere else too, you are going to get the same or worse. Some admins of the other forums may be "ban happy."

Good luck with it all and I'm sorry that the real world sucks.

Exactly what I meant stuck up people with attitude problems.

Ah, so me. Okay, have a nice day.

@billgyrotech

I have asked a mod to have a word with you, since you apparently do not understand friendly advice.
