INPUTBOX(prompt[, title[, default[, xpos, ypos]]])
Description
INPUTBOX opens a dialog box to prompt a user to input text or click a button. A string is returned containing the contents of the text field from the dialog box. The required parameter, prompt, is a string expression that is displayed in the body of the dialog box. The optional parameter, title, is a string expression that is displayed in the title bar. The optional parameter, default, is a string expression that is displayed in the text field of the dialog box. The optional parameters, xpos and ypos, are numeric expressions that specify the horizontal and vertical distance between the upper left corner of the screen and the upper left corner of the dialog box.
If the user taps OK or presses the Enter key, INPUTBOX returns the text in the input field or an empty string ("") if the input field is empty; if the user taps Cancel or presses the escape key (Esc), INPUTBOX returns EMPTY.
InputBox does not work on Pocket PC devices. See the ReadMe file for a workaround.
Example
