Here are 2 methods


Reply = MsgBox(Prompt:="Tell me what to do", Buttons:=vbYesNoCancel,
Title:="Give me info")

Namestring = InputBox(Prompt:="You name please.", Title:="Enter Name",
Default:="Name Please")

Check out VBA help on InputBox

examples.............

to pause for user entry

whatname = InputBox("Enter a Name")

to pause for range selection

Set rngCopyTo = Application.InputBox( _
prompt:="Select the Destination Cell", _
Title:="Copy Range Formulae", Type:=8).Cells(1, 1)
