Thanks Bob.

Any ideas about converting it for use in Outlook?

Cheers
Nigel

It should work okay in XL97 as long as you note the comment that I made.

Thanks Michel, this works in my Excel 2002 environment, do you know if
it
will in Excel97 ?
I do not understand all the intricacies of the subsequent hWnd debate.

Also will this work in Outlook (2002 and 98) ?

Cheers

Hi Nigel;
Try this (in ThisWorkbook module):

Private Declare Function FindWindow& Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA"
_
(ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String)
Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu& Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long)
Private Declare Function DeleteMenu& Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long
_
, ByVal nPosition As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long)
Private Declare Function DrawMenuBar& Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As
Long)
Private hWnd&

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
DeleteMenu GetSystemMenu(hWnd, 0), &HF060, 0&
DrawMenuBar hWnd
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
GetSystemMenu hWnd, True
DrawMenuBar Application.hWnd
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
hWnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, Application.Caption)
End Sub

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
