Disable cross (x) in taskbar win7

[JeroenMioch]

Greetings fellow programmers !

My users can log off my system with the cross in the taskbar in Win7.
Though i have disabled all uses of crosses by module.

This is annoying because i have build a system that keeps track howmany users are logged in, and who.
If they (right)click the icon in the taskbar they get the option to "close the window" and thus the user isnt logged out.

I tried to execute the code (logging off the client) by the OnClose event of the form, but that gives me an error.
It seems that if you close MS-access this way, the form closes and thus i cannot pass the value to the table wich client to log out.

Any ideas ?

I am not familiar with the "Cross" in the task bar. I seem to remember a mention, somewhere, of disabling the ability to exit Access. Is this the issue? You need to eliminate the ability of a user to close Access?

You may have to remove the power buttons on the machine and strap the power cord to the wall with lock and key too. At some point, the User needs to be responsible for their job.

Keep a form open at all times - whether it is hidden or not. (for me I don't even use the hidden form technique, I simply always use a Main Menu (form) in all my databases, all functionality sits on top of that in Tabs).

Code the Unload event of that form.

Will that VBA run if you close the main app?

You won't be able to close the app, if you code cancel=true in the form's Unload event and that code fires.

Interresting, I don't think I have ever tried anything like that. But I will...
