Hi everyone.

My team is currently using Excel to track sales calls. A macro is in place that prevents them from X’ing out of the file if certain information is missing from rows, but nothing prevents them from using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to access the Task Manager and force closing.

I can understand why MS wouldn’t want to block that overall, but is it possible to apply it strictly to these specific Excel files?

Thanks in advance!

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
