Find & Replace (DOH of the week)
 
I have used the find and replace function within excel.
Unfortunatley I did not type a value for find.
Is there a way to stop it running (over 2 hours now!!)

Thanks. Did think of that but closing the workbook is not a option (except
via task manager) as I cannot afford any data corruption.
Wondered if there was a keyboard funtion to stop or pause!
:-(
