VB6 DAO

Can anyone please help with a problem.

My application uses an Access database and if I use my exit buttons setting
db to nothing the database
is closed down correctly.

However if the X is used to exit at the top right hand corner of the form
then a .idb file remains.

How can I capture the X event so that I can ensure that the DB is closed
down correctly?
Thank in anticipation

Kevin

I never encountered this myself, but it seems that there are "hanging"
edits without updates or CancelEdits in some of your recordsets. If the
X button is clicked, some events are fired before the form is really
gone. It starts with the QueryUnload event that allows you to cancel the
closing, but if you don't want to cancel it is more clear to use the
Unload event of the form.

Best regards

Kevin, here is the code that's been triggered by the X button

Private Sub form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
' If user clicks the No button, stop QueryUnload.
If AddEdit = True Then
MsgBox "Busy with add , update or edit !", vbOKOnly, Me.Caption
Cancel = True
ElseIf MsgBox("Back to previous screen ?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, Me.Caption)
= vbNo Then
Cancel = True
Else
Set dataArtikel.Recordset = Nothing
Cancel = False
End If

End Sub
HTH
Erik.
