cancel exit

[maple via AccessMonster.com]

is there another way to stop a user exiting a form other than cancel = true?
maybe something on the lines of newrecord = false/ me.form.onexit = false?
any ideas?

What are you actually trying to do here?

If you are trying to prevent the user saving a bad record, cancelling
Form_BeforeUpdate is the only solution.

If you don't care about checking the data, you just don't want them to be
able to close the form, cancelling Form_Unload is the go.

The form's Close event is too late.

Forms don't have an Exit event.
