You don't want to advise the user to try again if he has just done a Cancel,
so you will either have to pick up the False from Application.Msgbox or
use StrPtr(strVar) = 0 with Msgbox.

Application.InputBox usually reserved for selecting ranges using mouse or
typed
reference.

Select Case result

I would like the macro to exit the sub when "cancel" is selected.
Can anyone help me with this?
