Dim search1
search1 = InputBox("i.e John Doe", ("WHAT IS THE PLAYERS NAME?"))

Hi all above is my code for an input box.

I have a question about a few things.

How do I get the input box to exit sub when the cancel box or X button is
clicked?

How do I get the inputbox to stay up when the ok button is clicked with no
input in the box?

Thanks for any advise on this issue

Dim search1 as String
Dim cnt as Long
Dim sMsg as String
sMsg ="i.e JOHN DOE"

cnt = 0
do
cnt = cnt + 1
search1 = InputBox(sMsg, ("WHAT IS THE PLAYERS NAME?"))
sMsg = "An entry is required" & chr(10) & "i.e. JOHN DOE"
if cnt = 3 then
msgbox "Number of prompts exceeded" & chr(10) & _
"Hit enter to quit", vbOk
exit sub
End if
loop while Search1 = ""

Is an example you should be able to adapt.
