OLKeeper reliably prevents users from closing their Outlook window and thus possibly missing reminders or e-mails.

In the calendar view, if you accidentally move an appointment and don't realize it, this may have serious consequences. The following macro allows you to cancel the process.

Paste the code to the ThisOutlookSession module, then restart Outlook.
