Type the word "Inputbox" click on it and press F1.

InputBox is much like MsgBox, but it returns a string. This is not the worlds best function, and I rarely use it, but it sure is fast to implement. I don't like it because it is so constrained in appearance and functionality.

Dim strName As String
strName = InputBox("Please enter your name below then press enter.", "Enter your name please")
    Select Case LCase(strName)
        Case ""
            MsgBox "You didn't enter a name, silly.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Bah!"
        
        Case "carp"
            MsgBox "You're not Carp, Carp made this small example for you though", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Silly"
            
        Case Else
            MsgBox "Your name doesn't seem to be in our case,  Try something else!", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Who are you?!?!?"
    End Select
