to the best of my knowledge you can't prevent the user
closing the application by disabling the 'x'
However, if there's an workbook open, by preventing its
closing you'd force exel to stay open.

Hi All
Is there a way of disabling the Windows X - application
close button - after
opening Excel. I know I can do this with a userform but
not the application
as a whole.

Thanks

Nigel
