How are you coding it now?

answer=inputbox("Enter A,B, or O")

**I have a do loop that assures something is entered but I need have an "escape plan" by selecting cancel, and have the inputbox go away.

Well, inputbox returns an empty string on Cancel, so that is your problem (I imagien you are keying off of "" to determine whether to show it again or not?)

The way you have things set up now, it is unlikely that you can do anything. Here is what I recommend, you need to give a default value basically. I gave a default value of " " (space) because this will be almost unnoticeable. Consider this example:

MyStart:
Select Case InputBox("Hello", "What Do You Say?", " ")
    Case "Hello", "Hi", "Howdy"
        MsgBox "How are you?"
    Case " "
        GoTo MyStart
    Case ""
        MsgBox "Forget you then"
End Select

The empty string ("") is returned from cancel, causing a certain behavior. The space (" ") is returned from "OK" with no text entered, causing an entirely different behavior.

Make Sense?

Hope it helps,

Alex
