You can add a with statement and put a period infront of the cell references

Sub Test()
Dim mpRow As Long
Dim mpWord As String
Dim mpResult As Double


with sheets("inputpage")
mpRow = Int(Rnd() * 25 + 1)
mpWord = .Cells(mpRow, "A").Value

On Error Resume Next
mpResult = InputBox("provide a number for " & mpWord)
On Error GoTo 0
If mpResult < 0 Then

If mpResult < .Cells(mpRow, "B").Value Then

MsgBox "Wrong"
Else

.Cells(mpRow, "A").Value = ""
End If
End If
end with
End Sub
