Ability to Print Report with PopUp ON

[Guest]

Hello

OS: Windows XP
App: Access XP

I would like to display a report with Popup ON so that users cannot [X] out
of the application. With Popup ON I need to provide Print & Close command
buttons. I have provided them them with a Toolbar but they keep exiting the
App via the [X] control.

I would be interested in any other method to hide the [X] control.

Regards
Mike

I am not into hiding Access' Close button/menu or other
standard Windows features for closing an app. Generally, an
application should not be sensitive to those actions.

You can use the OpenReport method's WindowMode argument to
open the report in Dialog mode so the report preview must be
closed before any other Access actions can be done.

I don't think there is anything reasonable that you can do
to prevent Alt+F4, Task Manager, power off, lightning, etc.
from closing/crashing access.
