Remarks
This event can occur once for each add-in connected to the FileControl object in each project; once for each form, module, class, and control file, and once for the project file.
The AfterCloseFile event does not occur if the form is dirty and the user selects No on the Save changes to the following files dialog box. Also, this event does not occur for .Frx files when a project is closed. It occurs when the .Frm file is saved.
This event occurs in all add-ins that are connected to the FileControl object. The add-in cannot prevent the file from being written to disk because the operation is complete. However, you can use this event to perform other tasks, such as:
Log information about the event.
Update information about the file.
Back up the file.
Compare versions of the executable (.EXE) file.
