Using Date in InputBox for criteria in code

I have the following code:

Sub ShadeCells()

Dim dblSum As Double
Dim cell As Range
On Error GoTo Errhandler:
dblSum = 0
With ActiveSheet.Range("A:A")
For Each cell In .Range("D:D")
If cell.Text < "" Then
If cell.Value <= DateValue("2/08/2005") Then
cell.Offset(0, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 16
If IsNumeric(cell.Offset(0, 1)) Then
dblSum = dblSum + cell.Offset(0, 1).Value
End If
Else
cell.Offset(0, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
Else
cell.Offset(0, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
Next
Application.EnableEvents = False

.Range("G1").Value = dblSum
.Font.Bold = True
.NumberFormat = "$#,##0.00"

Application.EnableEvents = True
End With
Errhandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Works great, now instead of going in and changing the date every 2 weeks
(this is how often I use this code) I would like an InputBox come up and ask
for the date to use and then use that entry in the criteria section:

If cell.Value <= DateValue("2/08/2005") Then

Any suggestions would be great, Thanks!

Using Date in InputBox for criteria in code

Try something like

Dim S As String
S = InputBox("Enter A Date")
If S = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
' your code
If cell.Value <= DateValue(S) Then
' your code

oops...
s/b
strAnswer = _
Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Enter Date: ", _
Title:="Use format mm/dd/yyyy...", _
Default:=Format(Now, "mm/dd/yyyy"), Type:=2)

Today doesn't work in vba, changed to Format(Now, "mm/dd/yyyy")

Ohhhhhhhhhh, be quite ;O

Why go with something nice and simple like that when you can get real
complicated? :O

Thanks for the note.
