Stopping the Function Item_Close()

[Ross]

I have a custom form that posts to a public folder. When the user clicks Post
the Function Item Close() is executed. I am doing some conditional checks in
this function and need to possibly stop the posting and closing of the form.
How would I do that within that function?
Thanks,

Set the value of the function to False:

Function Item_Close()
If <your criteria are not met> Then
Item_Close = False
End If
End Function

Thanks Sue,

I tried that previously and again today but it seems to ignore it.

I can see the public folder in the background and as soon as I click Post
the item is posted. My form is still open at that point because I have a
MsgBox displaying some information.

This code is in a Message class IPM.Post.Form25 and when the CheckBox is
checked I can not "Close" the form window but I can click on "Post" and it is
posted to the public folder then closed. I need the "Post" & Close to be
prevented just like closing the window is prevented.
Thanks for your help.

Function Item_Close()
' "AmIChecked" is a Check Box
Dim bCheck
bCheck = Item.UserProperties.Find("AmIChecked")
If bCheck Then
Item_Close = False
End If
End Function

Clicking Post fires the Write event. You'll need to put validation in Item_Write as well.

Thanks Sue, that's what I needed.
