One other thing! This will prevent you from doing a manually initiated repair/compact. What I do is have a button titled "Allow Compact/Repair" which resets GblnAllowClose to True. Then the user can Compact/Repair themselves. If you're using Compact On Close, you won't need to have an "Allow Compact/Repair" button.

I really think I've done this some other way -- but then, maybe not. Susan H. 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.
