Exactly what is the major problem? It's not that any data are lost.

Is it a problem to reopen the library? If so, is that because (1) you were
working with several and don't recall which one or (2) that it's a pain to
renavigate from scratch through folders, particularly when you're not sure
where you keep the library since you rarely have to open it from scratch?

Perhaps another solution would just be to make it easier to reopen your
library. Perhaps EndNote could keep a "recently used library" list and
append it to the end of the File menu (the way Microsoft Word for the Mac
does). Selecting it from the menu would reopen it.

[I make this suggestion because there's really no HIG justification to
impede a user from closing a nondirty window.]
