Here is a sample Access 97 db that will show you how to disable and/or enable the control box X button that most Windows programs have in the upper right corner. Sometimes we do not want our users to exit a database unless they have clicked our custom exit button. Disabling the X button will prevent that option for when you have the need to control that function. This is demonstrated in the "fDisableControlBoxX" form. The public function is in the "dDisableControlBoxX" module.

As a bonus I have also include a form named "fTestCancelFromUnloadEvent" which will demonstrate how you can prevent a user from closing a form and also the application unless they do exactly what you want them to do.
