Mike,

You can disable the close button on a form by overriding the createparams property.

Paul

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams

Get

Dim ClsCp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams

Const CS_NOCLOSE As Integer = &H200

ClsCp.ClassStyle = ClsCp.ClassStyle Or CS_NOCLOSE

Return ClsCp

End Get

End Property

No problem. Thanks for the info. Instead I have a messagebox pop up asking them if they really want to exit.

You can't through the standard .NET form designer. You will have to use a Windows API and hand off the window handle on the form load to hide only the close button :( Sorry.
