Users in my company are always clicking the "X" instead of minimising
Outlook. Then the wonder why they're not getting emails! I want to find
a
way to warn users before they exit Outlook, and give them the option of
minimising instead. I've looked at the "Application_Quit" event, but this
doesn't have a Cancel argument. Any ideas?
Hi, bigteddy. This might not be helpful, but I would consider it better to
train the users the difference between exiting out of an application and
minimizing it over installing more features to add unnecessary "are you
sure's" to actions. For the clients I work with, it's hard enough at the
end of the day for them to close down windows. I believe too much user
attention is already required.
If they had an open task that had been changed, they would naturally be
prompted to save or cancel the current job. But other than that, I would
think it would be better to allow close to close.
If you don't find the resolution you're looking for, you can always setup a
task action to automatically start Outlook if it's not running. The task
can check periodically, like every fifteen minutes. This way if the worker
forgets to start Outlook when he starts his computer, it will automatically
start in Fifteen minutes. If he closes it, it will start again 15 minutes
later.
