How do I prompt a user with a dialog box
 
I am new to programing in Excel and would like to creat a front end dialog
that prompts the user for a date. Then returning information be in a text
field so they can copy it and paste into their apps.

Is this even possible?

Here is a macro I made the extract the info and filters it. It is all hard
coded.
