delete a cell, but a task gone

I wrote a macro to delete a task in Ms project,

it runs well on my machine.
however, a customer told me he encoutered an issue:

when he selected a cell of a task, say, the task's Work,then delete the
cell, the whole task is gone.
Although I feel it should not be my macros' issue, I still could not explain
why this happens.

is it possible that he made some setting on his ms project file that makes
the whole task gone when he just wants to delete or change a cell of the
task?

I believe that in project 2002 when you delete a selected cell using the
DELETE key the entire task is deleted. This behavior was changed in 2003. I
think that if he uses the BACKSPACE key in the selected cell it should work
the way he wants. Of course, this is only from memory of 5 years ago, so I
might be a bit off.

Your macro should not have any effect on this unless it is running.
