  Hi,

  Using “executionObj.getEventArgs().preventDefault()”, we can only prevent CRM form from saving.

  However if you want to prevent form from closing then you can add an notification on any field on the same form using below code.

  function preventFormClose() {

  //setting notification on field to prevent close

  Xrm.Page.getControl(arg).setNotification(message,uniqueId)

  setTimeout(function(){

  //clearing notification from field so that user can make changes and save the changes again

  Xrm.Page.getControl(arg).clearNotification(uniqueId) } ,2000);

  }

  }

  The notification prevents the CRM form from saving and also prevent closing the form.

  Thanks for your valuable response!! Solution provided above does prevent save and close but I observed few drawbacks with this workaround like.

  1) When we set notification to one of the field on form, then that notification on field is visible to end user. Even though, we are clearing the same after some time, it is still visible at lower bottom of form which can be annoying for end user. Any thoughts/ideas to avoid this.

  Our requirement is: We had few validations on onsave event and if those validation fails then we prevent the save. Now, while creating a new record, if user clicks 'Save and Close' then this gives unnecessary alert message.

  Looking for the solution for this as this was not the case in CRM2011.
