INPUT(message_text, type_num, title_text, default, x_pos, y_pos, help_ref)

=INPUT("Use this again or overwrite",3, "Enter accountingdate", Z99)

message_text = "Use this again or overwrite"
type_num = 3
title_text = "Enter accountingdate"
default = Z99


The equivalent in VBA:

expression.InputBox(Prompt, Title, Default, Left, Top, HelpFile,
HelpContextId, Type)


res = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Use this again or overwrite", _
Title:="Enter accountingdate", _
Default:=worksheets("Sheet1").Range("Z99"), _
Type:=3)
worksheets("Sheet1").Range("Z99").Value = res

I have as suggested by Tom Ogilvy, looked at Input box help again but
failed to find how to retain as default THE STRING LAST ENTERED BY THE
USER (as doable in old steam Excel).

Any further suggestions - or has the facility fallen by the wayside?
