   Suppose they just don't put anything in the box and click OK?

   Unfortunately the input box isn't all the flexible. (You can't even hide the Cancel button.) You should use a custom form, it looks neater for getting 2 pieces of info anyway.

    Can u use Input Box to also collect password (ie starred input) also.
   I have a requirement whereby the program has to wait for input of userid and password . Input box works fine but I am not able to make the password as password field. is there any property in input box to achieve this
   Or
   I have to use something else. If so then what shud i use.
   Regards
   Tirthankar

   Do this....
   

   
   

   Code:

   
   i = InputBox("Question: blahblahblah?", "Q&A")
   

   
   If i = "" Then Exit Sub ' leaves sub if the variable i is null
   

   
   YOUR CODE HERE

   To end it, just add the line "exit sub" to your If statement where the string = "".

   What about if the user chooses Cancel?
   I made a small program (guessing game) that uses the inputbox, but how would I go about ending it when they choose cancel and not get an Error?

    u didn't answer it so i started a new topic:
    the codes with the () do it too!
    it says "statement invalid outside type block" (and i always put it in the button click...)
    and when i press ok it shows me the code:
    Private Sub Command1_Click() -in yellow
    DocName As String -in blue
    and the rest of the code is ok.....
    what's the problam?
    ??????

    Apologies.
    

    
    DocName = InputBox "Please enter the documents title", _
                     "Enter Title", "Document 1"
    

    
    should have been
    

    
    DocName = InputBox ("Please enter the documents title", _
                     "Enter Title", "Document 1")
    

    
    I've corrected the article.

    Is there a way to protect the contents entered into an input box?
    ie..place asterisks over what someone types to protect a password.
    

    
    If not...how can I prompt a user for input and protect what they enter using VB script...??

    anywhere you wanna dude.
    

    
    you can do this:
    

    
    call inputbox("Do you really wanna?")
    

    
    or
    

    
    strBox= inputbox("Do ya?")
    

    
    or even:
    

    
    savesetting("WhatDa", "Who", "Ha", inputbox("Do da Day"))
    

    
    not that hard, can be used anywhere you wanna

    Does the code for Input Box go in the Load Form section?
