Public Function DisableCloseButton(frm As Form) As Boolean

'PURPOSE: Removes X button from a form
'EXAMPLE: DisableCloseButton Me
'RETURNS: True if successful, false otherwise

    Dim lHndSysMenu As Long
    Dim lAns1 As Long, lAns2 As Long
    
    
    lHndSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(frm.hwnd, 0)

    'remove close button
    lAns1 = RemoveMenu(lHndSysMenu, 6, MF_BYPOSITION)

   'Remove seperator bar
    lAns2 = RemoveMenu(lHndSysMenu, 5, MF_BYPOSITION)
    
    'Return True if both calls were successful
    DisableCloseButton = (lAns1 <> 0 And lAns2 <> 0)
