I don't think so, but I figured I'd check with the community.
I guess the fact that you are working on this (and your users are complaining about it) means that there isn't anything taking higher priority, which probably means your app is a success. Congratulations! I don't know the answer, but have noticed that Windows greys out the close box instead of hides it in my non-vfp apps too. If the form is closable, then you should really make it so the user can click the little red x. If it isn't closable, then having the disabled 'x' communicates that. The case you have (dimmed close button while the form is actually closable) is the base cause of your current problem. Fix that.
