Sub MSODSC_BeforeDelete(DSCEventInfo)

   Dim txtDiscontinued

   ' Set a variable to the text box that contains the value
   ' of the Discontinued field for the record that is to be deleted.
   Set txtDiscontinued = DSCEventInfo.Section.HTMLContainer _
                        .Children("Discontinued")

   ' Check the value of the control.
   If txtDiscontinued.Value = "No" Then

      ' Display a message to the user.
      Msgbox "Do not delete products that have not " & _
             "been discontinued."

      Cancel the deletion of the record.
      DSCEventInfo.ReturnValue = False
