Stop Windows Shut Down

[CasperTFG]

I think this has been answered before but I can't seem to find it.

I Want to stop windows from being shut down if something hasn't happened.

When windows shuts down it tries to close the program I made the program with the code running in the unload event so when it tries to unload it the code is fired fine. Now all I need is the command to tell windows to cancel the shutdown. Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca

If you are using the event that I think you are, it should have a variable with it (Cancel As Integer).

If you change Cancel to equal one(1) it should cancel the window unload:

---------------------------------------------

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
...
Cancel = 1
...
End Sub

---------------------------------------------

Hope that helps.
