SYMPTOMSThe following two paragraphs about Microsoft Excel can be found on page 187 of the Microsoft Excel "Visual Basic User's Guide" and page 137 of "Microsoft Excel/Visual Basic Programmer's Guide":
You can also ignore user interrupts completely by setting the EnableCancelKey property to xlIgnore. In this condition, Microsoft Excel ignores all attempts by the user to interrupt the running procedure. Note Use caution when disabling or ignoring user interrupts. It is possible to write code that never returns or ends. If you disable interrupts by setting the EnableCancelKey property to xlIgnore, or if you always use the Resume statement to return from a trapped error, your procedure will not return control to the user. MORE INFORMATIONThese statements are incorrect. To make the statements correct, replace every instance of the word "xlIgnore" with the word "xlDisabled". The constant xlDisabled is referred to in Visual Basic online Help. For additional information, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
