If you would like to let the user know why they can't close with ESC, build on the solution provided by sloeber by adding a return message to @Failure in the Input Validation foumula. &nbsp;<br />

Example: @If(AllowClose = &quot;0&quot;; @Failure(&quot;Please use the \'\'Close\'\' &nbsp;button to close this document.&quot;); @Success)

make sure that you use the continue = False to stop from the form being closed after checking the field value set by the @functions in the previous events.<br />

Is there any way to prevent users from closing a form using Escape or the close button (top right). I have a Close button which I want them to use instead.<br />
<br />
I have tried putting code into the Queryclose event, but once this event is started, can it be stopped?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Andrew.

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
