Hi,

Just a general question, with no reference to any particular codes, what can a user do when executing a code freezes Excel. I have been using Task Manager to close Excel, but that closes the worksheets without saving any changes. Is there anything a user can do just to UNDO or BREAK the code operation? Thanks.

Hit Esc (hard!), or Ctrl-Break. Usually does it for me.

Other than pressing Esc ...No if its not responding and won't break the code you will have to shut down excel thats why the Autosave function is there unless you turned it off!
