Hello,

can some one explain why this doesnt work?

Sub test()
Dim i as Integer
Dim max as Integer

Set max = InputBox(Prompt:="How many reports to create?, Title:="Create
Reports", Type:=1)

msgbox max
End Sub


fyi in the code window the set max is all on one line

Try the below
Sub test()
Dim i As Integer, varMax As Variant
varMax = "0" & InputBox("How many reports to create?", _
"Create Reports", 0)
If IsNumeric(varMax) Then MsgBox varMax
End Sub

If this post helps click Yes

Hi

Only object variables like range objects require 'Set', and you miss a
double quote sign after the question sign. Type property is not used with
Input box function, only when you use Inputbox Method
(Application.Inputbox(...))

Sub test()
Dim i As Integer
Dim max As Integer

max = InputBox(Prompt:="How many reports to create?", Title:="Create Reports
")

MsgBox max
End Sub

First, it's better to copy directly from the VBE and paste into the body of your
message. Then typos are eliminated (no closing " in the Prompt parm).

Dim max As Integer

max = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="How many reports to create?", _
Title:="Create Reports ", Type:=1)

If max = 0 Then
MsgBox "either the user entered 0 or hit cancel"
Else
MsgBox max
End If

I like to use application.inputbox with type:=1 when I don't want to bother
validating input as a number. It's too easy to let excel/vba do that check.

ps.

Don't bother using "as integer" or "as single" in your code.

Just use:
dim Max as long
dim AnotherNumber as Double

Integers and singles should be forgotten <bg.
