IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE THE CLOSE BUTTON (VBA), AND ALSO HAVE A FORM COME UP FULL SCREEN SO IT HIDES EXCEL, AND DOESNT ALLOW THE END USER TO MOVE THE FORM. FOR SECURITY PURPOSES.THANKS!

I can help you with the disabling of the close button. This code will give the user a message that they button is disabled. This is the code I use on most of my forms. Put it in the Form's QueryClose event.
'Prevent user from using "x" button to close
If CloseMode = vbFormControlMenu Then
MsgBox "Choose an option. Use of the Close button isn't permitted."
Cancel = True
End If
