any help would be appreciated .

I have the same question. I got it to work with vbscript (and javascript)

Sub window_onclose()

Msgbox "Closing"
End Sub

It worked great... but the problem was if the user refresh the screen, he gets the msgbox also.

But I never look further into it. If you get it.. please post it.

Thanks

I would use <body ="onunload=callYourOwnJScriptFunction()">
where you can re-open the same window and give the user any instructions.

yes i know that but i dont want him to close the window because this window is a part of an ASP project with VB ocx that i have to set to nothing when i get out thats the reason i want to know how to cancel the closing of the window like in VB when you write cancel=true.
