Inputbox Location on Screen. Can you code it to popup lower on the screen ?
 

I have an inputbox for entering info when the code is run.
However, the user needs to enter a value that is displayed on the worksheet
the inputbox is run from.
But the inputbox positions itself exactly over the values that are displayed
on the worksheet, and therefore prevent the user being able to view the
values.
Is there a code to position the inputbox, still in the centre but down lower
on the sreen ?

Never mind.
Found the X/Y positioning.

Help on Inputbox shows you can adjust the xpos and ypos

InputBox(prompt[, title] [, default] [, xpos] [, ypos] [, helpfile, context])

The pos numbers are Twips......1440 twips per inch

Try this.......

Sub hoohah()
mybox = InputBox("Move it down a bit", , , 5000, 5000)
End Sub

Experiment with the position numbers to get it where you want.

0,0 is top left corner

What about for a Message Box???
AND a
Yes/No box ???
There does not seem to be a x/y Pos.
