1) when the close(x) closes a form, does it create any kind of event to act on?

2) let's say you use a form as a main menu. clicking a command button loads a
submenu, so you either hide or unload the main menu.
the operation the 2nd command button launches takes x amount of time.
how can you load the main menu after the operation is completed?

Hi Gary,

Perhaps you can use SaveSetting function ... like :

Dim r
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
r = GetSetting("App", "Sect", "Ky")
If r = "" Then
r = 0
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox "You've closed " & r & " times!"
End If
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()
SaveSetting "App", "Sect", "Ky", Val(r) + 1
End Sub

Rgds,

Halim

Bob explained the theory. I told you to try it and I guess you didn't. Many
people refuse to try a solution they don't immediately understand. That is
not a good approach. Most solutions to anything are complicated and
illogical, but they work anyway.

Hi Gary

Try the X on userform1.

harald:

i did try it. i know you know a lot more than i'll ever know. what i was looking
for was a simple, built in way. i thought there may be a method i didn't know
about. why isn't there a built in option, just like show, hide, activate? every
userform has an x,
figured if the x was clicked, the userform was closed and it could be acted on
without writing code
to do it.

The problem is that when the x is clicked, the form is unloaded, so there is
nothing to test against. Therefore you have to trap the close event, which
is what Query Close gives you.

Hi Gary

Glad it worked out in the end.
I wasn't trying to be smart or rude, I just believed my demo was simple and
to the point. Apologies if it wasn't so.

Best wishes Harald
