Is an example you should be able to adapt.

Hi all above is my code for an input box.

I have a question about a few things.

How do I get the input box to exit sub when the cancel box or X button is
clicked?

How do I get the inputbox to stay up when the ok button is clicked with
no
input in the box?

Thanks for any advise on this issue
