How to prompt for a value and wait for a reply.

5 New Member
I have a button on a form which is used to issue and print a certificate. The certificate contains an expiry date. In most cases I can calculate the expiry date from the current date, but for one case I need to prompt the user for the expiry date. I have tried to do this by creating a form containing just the expiry date field which the user can enter. Unfortunately my issuing code does not wait for the user to enter the expiry date. I'm sure there must be an easy way to prompt for a value and wait for the reply. Can anyone suggest a simple way to do this.

Thanks

Please ignore. I've just found the InputBox function.
