Closing Screens

[fabby1]

HI

I have 12 screens with have a button which takes them all back to the main switchboard where there is an exit button.

On each screen in the top right is the X close button, how can I if the user presses this button exit the database. At the moment when you press is it closes the screen but you are still left in Access in the design window.

Thanks

Phil

Hi

Why not

get rid of the X, by setting the .CloseButton Property to false

Put a button on the form with (Say) quit as caption, in the onclick event of that button put Application.quit

Hi

If you want to make it impossible to go back to the main menu, just put Application.quit in teh Unload event of each form, but I did not think that was your intention

without a button how do you tell the difference between

"I want to close this form and go to menu"

and

"I want to quit"

?
