Cancel Delete

I've got an event procedure based on BeforeShapeDelete.

How can I cancel the delete, based on conditions that I test for in the
procedure?

The purpose of the BeforeShapeDelete event is to handle cleanup before the
shape is deleted. At this point, it is too late to cancel the deletion.

The suggestion from Mark Nelson is to "Respond to the QueryCancelPageDelete
event and return True to cancel the deletion"

Me, too. How simple it is!
Private Function Document_QueryCancelSelectionDelete(ByVal Selection As
IVSelection) As Boolean
Document_QueryCancelSelectionDelete = True
End Function
