Default Prompt user to input data (pop-up box)

I've searched in Excel Help, online, and in this discussion group - perhaps
I'm wording my help question wrong - apologies if this is a silly question...

I want to prompt any person opening my excel document to input the date they
require - in a particular format - once they do this I want to use their data
to create a code. I can't for the life of me find where or how I can create
a pop-up box that a person can input data into. I know excel can do this
because I've seen spreadsheets that calculate your love rating, etc - where
you input data when prompted. Can anyone help?
PS: I did read the discussion thread "automatic pop-up message", but that
solution seems a little bit complicated for what I want...plus I don't want a
pop-up message - I want a pop-up field that people can type data into.
Cheers
