Close Button

[Reggie]

Hi and TIA! I have a form and have set the Close Button to false so that
users must exit using my close button. However when I open a Report from
this form I want the close button to be available from the report print
preview window. However, the first time I open the report to preview it the
close button (X) in upper right hand corner is there. When I close the
preview and open it again it is not there unless I close the app down and
start again. How can I make it so that it is always there? Thanks for your
time!

Hey Allen. Thanks for the reply. I'm using A2K (SP-3) and WXP-Pro and have
installed all updates/patches etc. I think it's because I have it turned
off on the form. I normally allow the close button, but in this case I'm
checking some things on the form before closing it and don't know of a way
to check something on a form and canceling the close when the user clicks
the X to close it. It's not a real big deal, because I have a custom menu
in the report, but most people are used to having the X option as well.
Thanks again for your time.

Forgot to mention, this only occurs when the form is maximized first then
the report is opened. If the form is in the restored state and I open and
maximize the report the close (X) is visible.

Hi Reggie,

Place your validation code that's behind your close button inside the Unload
event of the form and use Cancel = True to prevent the form from closing
down if your conditions are not met.

Thanks Stewart! I have since moved it there, but was still curious what was
causing the close (X) to disappear. Thanks for the help!
