Removing the Close button from the main Application

[ahoy]

I know I've seen it before but I just can't find it again

I can happily remove the control box from forms so that users can't
minimise or close a form, but I now want to do the same for the actual
application itself. Anyone point me in the right direction?

You can't actually remove the close box from the Access application, but there
are a couple of methods to "disable" the close button.

The following page at The Access Web offers a form-based method:

*General: Prevent Access from closing
http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0005.htm

Another method is available via the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

*ACC: How to Disable the Close Button (X) on the Access
Application Window (95/97)

*ACC2000: How to Disable the Close Button (X) on the Access
Application Window

*ACC2002: How to Disable the Close Button (X) on the Access
Application Window and the Exit Command on the File Menu

Keep in mind that no matter what method you choose, the determined user can
still resort to the "End Task" approach.
