i have been given the following questions if anyone could
help with a solution to each i would be most greatful because i am new
to using vba in excel and im finding is all very confusing

1) produce code that allows a user to input using a input box up to but
no more than five manufactures names. to finish entry before five
manufactures names have been entered the user should input the word
QUIT. after entry is complete the number of names inputed by the user
should be displayed in a message box

2) desgin a excel spreadsheet that will allow the registration of votes
for the big listen. voters will be allowed to lodge votes for one of
five radio programmes. the form should include a cell to allow the
entry of a vote(1-5) and a button, cmdSubmit to submit this. the data
must be held in an arry. the form should also include display the
radio programm names, radio programm numbers and the current score

3)write a function to test whether an integer lies between 0 and 100.
this should return a boolean value

kind regards

RELWOD85,
A few comments on your code:
Saving the names to a sheet was not part of your criteria, but it would be
bit pointless to enter the names and just forget them.

1. You "Dim QUIT As String", but them assign QUIT the value 4, a number.
Whilst VBA will let you do this, what do mean by it.

2. "manufacturesName1 = ActiveCell.Value" sets the value of
manufacturesName1 to that of the active cell, which in a new sheet I guess
would be "".
What you mean is the opposite: ActiveCell.Value=manufacturesName1

3. On the Range object, you can use .Offset within the loop, so selection
is not required. Select is seldom required in VBA.(Hint:
Range("A1).Offset(i,0).Value=)

4. Your Do...Loop and For...Next are interleaved: if you had tried this
code, you would have seen a compile error, "Do without Loop", I would guess.

5. endloop ? Exit Do ?

6. For i = 1 To 1: How many times does this execute ?

7. Read about the MsgBox syntax in help. You will need to know the number
times that the loop has executed (Hint: what is the value of i) and add this
to you prompt text.

8. "If manufacturesName = QUIT" ; what is the value of QUIT ?

9. What if the user clicks the Cancel button ?

You should at least try to run your code before you post. The help would
have explained some of the above and VBA would have errored on the
syntax/compile errors.
Have another go and see what you can up with, making sure it can actually
run. Post back and we'll make comments
