CloseButton property

[StuMunro]

I am trying to enable/disable the close button (x) on a form from vba. When I do

me.CloseButton = true

I get the following error.

runtime error 2448

You can't assign a value to this object.
* The object may be a control on a read-only form.
* The object may be on a form that is open in Design view.
* The value may be too large for this field.

The help states you can set this property from vba.

I have checked the form is not read only ie allowadditions, allowedits etc.

Can anyone help?

Stu.

Try:
Me.CloseButton.Enabled = True

Stu:
I'm assuming that "CloseButton" is the name of your button. One other point not to forget is that the focus cannot be on "CloseButton" when you try to disable it. So add a line in before like:
Me.NameOfAnotherControl.Setfocus
Should go!
