How come your Workbook_BeforeClose event header does not have a "Cancel"
argument? Is the one you posted your own creation or was it provided by the
VB interface? If VB provided it, what version of Excel are you using? On my
XL2003 system, the BeforeClose event comes with the Cancel argument allowing
you to stop the user requested shut down of the workbook.

Hi,

I have a code, (below), to hide toolbars and to prevent users from
tampering. I have a macro which performs some operations and then saves
and
closes the file. I have just realised that the X to close excel on the
top
right corner is still visible meaning the file can be closed without using
the macro. Is it possible to also hide this feature so users must close
using the macro?

Thanks

Private mFormulaBar

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose()
Dim oCB As CommandBar
For Each oCB In Application.CommandBars
oCB.Enabled = True
Next oCB

Application.DisplayFormulaBar = mFormulaBar
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim oCB As CommandBar
For Each oCB In Application.CommandBars
oCB.Enabled = False
Next oCB

mFormulaBar = Application.DisplayFormulaBar
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False
End Sub
