Prevent Outlook from quitting
Bickers 3/6/2007 2:26:50 PM
Hiya,

Is there anyway to prevent a user quitting Outlook ?

There is a quit event that I can hook into, but I think it's too late by then.

What I need is a BeforeQuit event.

I need to stop the use from quitting if a certain condition exists.

Cheers,

Phil.

Heck we haven't even been able get MS to add an optional prompt of "Are you
sure?" for closing Outlook. You wouldn't believe how many of our 9000
Outlook 2003 users have asked our Helpdesk where that option is hiding.
