hi
i want the "X" to disappear from the form when i click on a menu:

Private Sub faq_Click()
help.Show
Delta.ControlBox.Visible = False
End Sub

help please

Why hide it? (I assume you arte just talking about the "X" and not the whole control box)

Option Explicit
Private mbAllowClose As Boolean
Private Sub faq_Click()
    help.Show
    mbAllowClose = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    mbAllowClose = True
End Sub
 
 
Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
 
    If UnloadMode = vbFormControlMenu And Not mbAllowClose Then
        Cancel = True
        MsgBox "Nope, can't do that"
    End If
 
End Sub

hi,
i'd just like the X to disappear or get disabled when i open a new window by pressing on a commandbutton so that ull have to close that new window before the old one. i want the "X" to get enabled again when i close the new window.
what's wrong with:

Private Sub faq_Click()
help.Show
firstwindow.ControlBox.Visible = False
End Sub

Make the second window Modal. That way no other form can be accessed until it is closed.

help.Show vbModal

exactly what i need

In future posts of yours let me suggest something. Rather that saying how you want to do something like you did initially, it's better just to state what you want to do. In this case it would have been something like "I want to prevent the user from closing form1 until after form2 is closed". Hope that helps.
