[AccessD] exiting Access

Susan,

Yes - It's easy!

When your app opens, set a global Boolean variable to False.

	GblnAllowClose = False

In your main form's Unload event, enter the following code:

    If GblnAllowClose = False Then
        Cancel = True
    End If

The above will not allow the main form to close, thus keeping the
application open.

Now put the following code in the Exit button's click event.

	GblnAllowClose = True
	Docmd.Quit

I've used this for a long time, and it works very well.

This ought to be simple, but I'm drawing a total blank -- 
 
Seems like you ought to be able to trap the File Exit and clicking the
application's Close button -- so you can prevent the user from closing the
application before they should.
