Tobias, I guessed that it wouldn't work on 7.5 as well as the action itself has not changed in any way..
Looping the part where the dialog box opens and closes if it has not been closed correctly so that it opens again if the 'X' button is pressed would be the only other way to arm wrestle with the users and MAKE them to use it correctly. It would be esthetically a bit flunky though..

What I implemented as a workaround is the following: - I'm setting a flag on "valid" closure of the dialog (the user is using one of the normal buttons). - I have an AL firing on close checking if the flag was set. If it wasn't, I'm sending an event to the parent form. - On the parent form, I'm catching the event and open the dialog again. Similar to the approach you mentioned below.

I had even tried creating a AL with an error message that should pop up on window close if a flag is not set which is set only when you use the custom Close button that is created on the form, but that doesn't work on the Mid-Tier either.. I haven't however tried that work around on MT 7.5 upwards but I can't see how it would work on that if it didn't on earlier versions.. The only way to go around this might be to create a loop to re-open the dialog window on window close if the close button is not used, but I didn't use that as it would esthetically appear a bit bizarre at least in my opinion.. If that would work for you, try that..
