Halt QueryUnload Event

[dodgly]

During the QueryUnload event I want to *stop* VB from shutting down the program.

For example. The user clicks the corner 'X'. During the QueryUnload event I prompt the user with a YesNoCancel MsgBox. If the user hit's cancel I need to stop the QueryUnload event from actually shutting down the application.

Any thoughts on how I can do this?

Try this:

Dim strReply As String

strReply = MsgBox("End?", vbYesNo)

If strReply = vbNo Then 'User clicks no
Cancel = True 'Dont end program
Else
Cancel = False 'End Program
End If

Cheers

Rob,

Beautiful! Thanks so much. I've been coding for years and figured I could nail this one so I was getting frustrated.

In fact I was using Cancel = True elsewhere in the QueryUnload event but I was turning it False based on other conditions but I didn't realize that would affect the Event stopping or not.

Anyhow. I *really* appreciate your tips. Worked perfectly, as you expected.
