I am trying to use the InputBox function to automatically edit a number of cells with a similar file link. The file path remains constant but the file name changes in each case, by a 10 digit project number. I figure the best way would have the user input the project number into an input box and the response used with the replace function to amend the link. I'm also a bit of a Visual Basic novice.

Which cells are you editing? Is it in Excel or any other grid control?
It is in Excel. The formula is similar to the one below which relates to about 9 different groups of cells.
=IF(OR('J:\SHARED\General_Services_Shared\DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION\Capital Projects Admin\REPORTS\Latest Reports\[Latest report 1200006013.xls]Full Report'!$H$19="r",'J:\SHARED\General_Services_Shar ed\DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION\Capital Projects Admin\REPORTS\Latest Reports\[Latest report 1200006013.xls]Full Report'!$H$20="r"),"R",IF(OR('J:\SHARED\General_Se rvices_Shared\DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION\Capital Projects Admin\REPORTS\Latest Reports\[Latest report 1200006013.xls]Full Report'!$H$19="a",'J:\SHARED\General_Services_Shar ed\DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION\Capital Projects Admin\REPORTS\Latest Reports\[Latest report 1200006013.xls]Full Report'!$H$20="a"),"A","G"))
Sorry to see you're not getting much of a response on this. I guess things get pretty quiet over Christmas.
I think probably the simplest thing would be to write a function to do what you want, then just use that function in the formula. For instance the cell could just say something like: =MyFunction()
The function, written in VBA, can prompt the user to enter the number, then open the appropriate worksheet, check the appropriate values, make decisions, and return the appropriate value.
When I have time, I'll try to help you with the code for the function if you like.
Thanks Killer42. That would be brilliant.
