Is there any VBA code for answering an InputBox Prompt of another macro.
e.g. running macro "Update_at_dayend"

Sub Update_at_dayend()
Application.Run "Manual_Input"
' I need a code something like "At prompt, answer = 8.25%"
End Sub

Sub Manual_Input()
Dim ans as variant
ans = InputBox(prompt:=" Enter Tax Rate for the area."
' the rest of the program
End Sub

Thanks

Not that I know of. But if you can see the code for Manual_Input, maybe you can
change it slightly:

Option Explicit
Sub Update_at_dayend()
Call Manual_Input(ans:="8.25%")
' I need a code something like "At prompt, answer = 8.25%"
End Sub

Sub Manual_Input(Optional ans As Variant = "")

If ans = "" Then
ans = InputBox(prompt:=" Enter Tax Rate for the area.")
End If

MsgBox ans
' the rest of the program
End Sub


And since the code is in the same workbook, I replaced Application.run with a
simple Call.

Hi, Dave
What do you call this?
Sub Manual_Input(Optional ans As Variant = "")
Is it a function?
It was not listed as macro; so, it can not be run independently.
Thanks

It's still a subroutine.

But since it has parameters (even optional parms), you don't see it in the list.

You can still type it in the Tools|macro|macros dialog if you want.

=====
I find telling people to run macros that way less than optimal.

If you want to give the user a nicer interface to run your macros...

I use a variation of John Walkenbach's menumaker:
http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip53.htm
to add items to the worksheet menubar.

If I want to add a toolbar of my own, here's how I do it:
