I need some simple advice on how to make a dialog box launch with the auto
open macro to have a value entered by the user and pasted in a cell on the
worksheet. Thanks in advance.

Look in VBA help for Application.InputBox
I use this in an autofilter for entering are codes when filtering on phone
numbers

Sub Area_Code()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
UserVal = Application.InputBox("Enter Area Code")
If UserVal = False Then
Exit Sub
Else
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=UserVal & "*", Operator:=xlAnd
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
