Using access 2000 on XP, one of my students has a reasonably simple form
that ignores the close button (the cross in the top right hand corner). I've
looked at the properties of the form and there does not appear to be any
code attached to the close event.

He has tried deleting the form and re building it but had the the same
problem. All his other forms work ok. We have done a compact and repair.

I have suggested that he make a new form and copy / paste all the controls
over and if that doesn't work to make a new database and import all the
forms to force a recompile.

Anyone got any other ideas?

It's the Unload event you need to worry about: it has the ability to cancel
the event, whereas the Close event doesn't. However, if he's deleted the
form and started over again, it shouldn't matter (unless, of course, he
included the same code again!)

I think it's actually a little unusual to close forms that way anyhow: I
believe it's more common to put a Close button on the form.
