I have a problem with sharing an excel product, so I'm left at the mercy on relying on others to close out the product when they're done. This workbook is utilized by many people, but can't be shared due to the tables and formulas therein.

So, how can I create an Auto-Save Auto-close macro to close the workbook automatically if a user is idle for a period of time? I don't want someone to lock it out and leave their computer running with this in the background. I have no idea how to use VBA or how macros even work. I've done research online, but it all looks like Chinese to me. Please help!
