Using VB5.

With MDI and MDI child forms, how do I prevent a user from closing(by
clicking the "X") on either the MDI or MDI child form while a Edit or a
AddNew is in progress(ie. before an Update or CancelUpdate)?

I tried to trap the closing and use CancelUpdate using "Form_QueryUnload"
but the recordset had already been updated with the partial changes I had
made prior to chicling Close.

Help!!

Remove the closing-tab from the form. Done in the
property window.
I think you have better luck posting to
comp.lang.basic.visual.misc
Many gone there by now. Besides, most is
less active on newsgroups in week-ends.

Assuming you're talking about a DAO database, here's a pointer:

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset
For Each db In DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases
For Each rs In db.Recordsets
If rs.EditMode <> dbEditNone Then
MsgBox "AddNew or Edit in progress; cannot terminate", vbExclamation
Cancel = True
Exit Sub
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

Not tested, but might give you an idea.
