disable close and shrink buttons
 

Hello,
I've been looking for a way to disable the close ("X") and shrink buttons that are located at the upper-right part of the spreadsheet. This will ensure that the user uses the button containing the macros I have created.

Is this possible? Please help.

thanks in advance,
Jason

disable close and shrink buttons
 

Jason, it's not only possible.. it's easy :)

lock the windows of the activebook:

tools/protect/workbook
structure OFF
windows ON

PLUS
in this workbook
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If Not blnByCode Then Cancel = True
End Sub


where blnByCode is a module lavel boolean variable you can set in your
other macor to close the workbook.
