Greetings !

I have this code -

Ans = InputBox("Enter 1 for " & Text1 & vbCrLf & _
" 2 for " & Text2 & vbCrLf & _
" or 3 for " & Text3," Select choice" )

What I would prefer is to have displayed in the box three
labelled buttons, such that the user can more easily
select a choice.

Suggestions as to the easiest way to achieve this would be
welcome.

I have NEVER yet used a "form",
so that would be "a whole new ball-game" ("can o' worms" ?)
that I would prefer to avoid !

I don't think this is possible without using your own
userform

As Rog said, you really need a userform for this and it isn't that hard:
Here are some sources of information.

Thank you, Tom and Rog, for your help.

I guess I had better start to learn about
UserForms....<Sigh

And Thank you, Tom, for your help yesterday - I sent a
thank you to your msn address, but it bounced....
