Hi,
I have two problems:
1. I don't like the inputbox window that appear when the program call it!
2. Is another way to input data interactively in program? How? I don't want to use inputbox()! How can I stop the process to wait me to input some data from keyboard?

Can anyone help me?
Thanks
 
You could build your own version of the input box. Just add a form and place the controls you want on it. You can pause program execution after the form is loaded by calling the form modally. Say the form is named frmInput, you would call it like this:

frmInput.Show vbModal

Good luck.

Thanks for the tip!
Simple and reliable, but I don't want to pop me some form. I want to pause program execution and the focus remain in the same form. The value that I want to input in program I want to introduce in a field that is in the same form with the other two that triggers the action priorly.
Do you know anything about this?
Thanks!
