Hi all

I have a form that has various buttons to close it (Save & Close, Cancel & Close and Save & New)

When the form opens in form view, I want the Close Button or control box to be disabled. When it is opened as a Datasheet (in read only), I need the Close Button/Control Box to be enabled.

I've tried the following, but it still uses the settings on the Property Sheet.

Private Sub Form_Load()
If Me.CurrentView = 2 Then
Me.ControlBox = True

Else
Me.ControlBox = False

End If

If I try me.closebutton = true (or false), I get an error message.

Assistance would be gratefully received. notworthy.gif

The close button property can only be set in design view. You would need to get into using APIs to disable such a button. See: https://www.fmsinc.com/microsoftaccess/star...reventclose.asp if you truly want to go down that road.

You can't alter certain form properties in this way.
The workaround is to use your code and instruct Access how to open the form.

docmd.openform "FormName",acNormal
Or
docmd.OpenForm "FormName",acFormDS
