Hello How do I create input box asking the user to type in the term of
agreement
1, 2, 3, 0r 4 years
or where can I get instructions to do this. I have a book but the
instructions are not very clear to me. thanks

myNum = Application.InputBox("C")

Press ALT-11 to open VBEditor, search for InputBox.

The above will prompt the user with "Enter a number" and store the response
in the variable myNum.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myNum As Long
myNum = CLng(Application.InputBox(Prompt:="1, 2, 3, or 4", Type:=1))

If myNum < 1 _
Or myNum 4 Then
MsgBox "Please try again!"
Exit Sub
End If

'your code to do the work goes here

Hi,

If you are in the spreadsheet, you might consider Data, Validation, List and
enter 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years as the Source. Personally, I would
enter the 1 year, 2 years,... in a range and reference the range in the
Source box. Then click the second tab, Input Message and type a message to
tell the user what you want them to do.
