    Let me divide my problem into 2 parts

    If i click on the main form close button - Iam asking the user do u really wish to exit
    1. if the user says i need to close all open forms that means send windows message to close the forms - may be if data entry is going on in those forms i may do something but i need the message to go to all open forms.

    2.Now if the user says no i need to stay in the application but the main forms close executes form unload and my whole app. closes

    Put your code in the QueryUnload Event of the Form, then if the user doesn't really want to Quit, you can set the Cancel Parameter to any Non-Zero Value to Cancel the Unload Process, ie.
    Code:
    Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
        Dim oFRM As Form
        
        If MsgBox("Do you really want to Exit?", vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel, "Exit") = vbYes Then
            For Each oFRM In Forms
                Unload oFRM
                Set oFRM = Nothing
            Next
        Else
            Cancel = True
        End If
    End Sub
