    You gurus have helped me extend inputbox functionality before. How about this one: how could I create an input box where the input is of two option buttons and not a text box, and save the selected value to a local variable in a form? I could use a form to do that and store the selected value in a global variable, but that seems to be such a waste of resources.

    I don't think you can do this without creating your own form.

    But there are soe advantages for making your own form.
    You can make it look however you want it to and not jut gray background etc.
    Although I know what you mean but apps do require a lot of forms depending on their acapability.
    But you do make a good point. I wish there was something like mystring = optionbox(blablablabla).

    But if you want to save on forms, make a form for the whole process, instead making a million Inputboxes and Msgboxes. A form that includes some textboxes, lists and stuff...
    And it will look a whole lot better
    I hope I helped.

    yes Asaf_99, you are right on that point. I agree that message boxes and input boxes are fairly boring. But in my case right now I am worried more about speed and size than appearance.
