In Excel, press ALT+F11 to open the VBA Editor. There, go to the
Insert menu and choose Module. Paste the code in that module.
Then, close the VBA Editor to go back to Excel. Press ALT+F8 to
display the macro list. Select the macro to run and click the Run
button.

Thanks for your time answering my question... Would I run it as
a macro?
It's been 14 years since I've written macros and I know it is
different now...

You can do this with VBA code.

Sub DisableCtrlD()
Application.OnKey "^d",""
End Sub

Sub RestoreCtrlD()
Application.OnKey "^d"
End Sub

Is there a way to DISABLE the shortcut key (ctrl+D) which is
Fill Down? I am
needing to use ctrl+F frequently and sometimes I accidently
hit
ctrl+D and my
spreadsheet is so huge that it locks up when I do that, then
I
loose all my
changes. It takes a while to save, so it is impractical to
save after ever
change I make. Thanks for your time and any help you can
suggest will be
appreciated!
