FileDialog deactivating the close button

[Fredriksson via OfficeKB.com]

When the user is selecting a file to open, I want to deactivate the X (Close
Button) so the user can not exit out of the macro.

Do you know if this can be done?


With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Add "Text files", "*.den"
If .Show = True Then
Txt = .SelectedItems(1)
'Import data
For x = LBound(ColumnsDesired) To UBound(ColumnsDesired)
ColumnArray(x, 1) = ColumnsDesired(x)
ColumnArray(x, 2) = DataTypeArray(x)
Next x

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=Txt, _
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=ColumnArray
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Copy Destination:=Isheet.Range("A1")
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
End If
End With

Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, _
CloseMode As Integer)
If CloseMode = vbFormControlMenu Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please use the button to close the form", vbInformation

End If
End Sub
