I accidentally made a infinite loop with a for statement. It basically
msgboxes for every cell in the sheet. I can't get out of it with Esc or End.
How would I stop the macro?

If all else fails:

Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Windows Task Manager
Applications
Select EXCEL
End Task

You will loose any changes since your last save.

Thanks for posting your solution. Ctrl-Break also worked with GW-BASIC
back in 1983.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Windows Task Manager

Or just Ctrl-Shift-Esc to go directly to the TM. (I do a lot of app
killing<g).
