Outlook 2003 - warn user on exit w/ option to cancel

[ewallig]

Hi,

I have several users who "complain" that Outlook doesn't warn them when they
close the application accidentally by clicking the red "X". I could not find
any feature in O2K3 (SP2) that enables this so I was wondering if anyone had
an idea on how to programmatically do it?

Essentially, all I'm looking for is when someone "x's" out of Outlook, they
are prompted with a "Are you sure.." type message with the options to close
or to cancel. The cancel option could even be a reload of Outlook if stopping
the shutdown is not possible.

Any thoughts?


Thanks in advance....

I have several users who "complain" that Outlook doesn't warn them when

they

My opinion?
Convince them that you can't automate everything !

Strong Advise to your users:
don't hit that X button if you want to keep working with Outlook.

Next thing you know, they'll ask you to come up with code to warn them that
they
accidentally hit the "DEL" button when the "My Documents" folder was
selected.

OK, thanks for the reply....though was hoping for more of an answer on how to
do it - anyone else have any thoughts or is it not feasible?

Thanks...

I guess I'm looking to incorporate a function that is similar to what IE7
does when you have multiple tabs open and you click the "X" - you get the
option to close all tabs or to cancel. Ideally, my Outlook users would get a
similar prompt when closing via the "X"; the users who accidentally hit the
"X" (while trying to click something else) would have the option of
cancelling out.

Thanks....
