How To Make An InputBox In VBA

The input box is a great way to retrieve and process input from your user. In the following example we’ll control program flow based on the user’s input in the inputbox. Your user will enter a text value and we will evaluate their answer and send them in the right direction.

Sub InputboxVBA()
    Dim strAnswer As String
    
    strAnswer = InputBox("What is the password?", "Enter Password")
    
    Select Case strAnswer
        
        Case "P@ssword"
            MsgBox "Correct!  You can now use the program."
            
        Case Else
            
            MsgBox "Your password entry was incorrect"
            
    End Select
End Sub
