Good morning john tempest

Two parter this one. To stop Excel being closed via the red X (or File > Exit) use this code in the ThisWorkbook module :

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Cancel this via the userform"
End Sub

Then this code attached to (in this instance) a button on a UserForm to close Excel ;

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Quit
End Sub

Create a workbook property named "AllowClose" or something to that effect. The workbook simply will not allow closing unless this property equals True. Make it so from the userform. See the example...

ALLOWCLOSE_FROMUSERFORM.zip

Try:

' General module
Public CloseEnabled As Boolean

' ThisWorkbook module
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not CloseEnabled Then
        MsgBox "Please use the form to close this workbook"
        Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub

' UserForm module
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    CloseEnabled = True
    ThisWorkbook.Close
End Sub
