Cancel Input Box 1

[dbero]

Hello:

I am using an input box to enter some text. However, if a person accidently clicks and opens the Input Box, which has default text, I would like the ability for the Cancel button to exit the sub. Seems to me the Input Box does not work that way in that the Cancel and OK are the same. Is there a way to exit the sub, other than interrogating the text? I can't interrogate the text because if it's the same i may want to store it, or not.

Thank you!

If the user clicked the Cancel button then the result is an empty string: ""

Hope This Helps, PH.

Unfortunately I have default text in the input box, so it's not an empty string. The reason I'm using an input box is so the person can add additional detail to the default string.

thank you for your response.

For me (ac2003) the default text is NOT returned when I click the Cancel button.
