Thanks benoit, I'll try again - I'm certain I tried this last time as 
that is where one would logically look,  and wasn't able to get the 
workspace to continue to remove the tab anyway. I want to be able to 
intercept the tab close event e.g with a popup message saying "Are you 
sure you want to close this tab?" and allow a yes/no or whatever to act 
upon, not necessarily use the close event to save the forms contents.

Is that possible?

Regards

Richard
