Hi folks

I have searched extensively on Google for solution to my problem, to no avail.

I am testing the OK and Cancel buttons of my Input box (when pressing a button on a worksheet.
The correct responses (message boxes) occur when:
a). I choose a name/school class outside V18:ax18.
b). when I press OK without entering a name/class,
c). When I enter a class in the range mentioned above.

My problem is:
When I press Cancel, I get the same response as in a). above.
Can someone help please? Any and all help will be appreciated.
The code is as follows:


VBA Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()


        Dim myRange As Variant
        Dim foundIt As Range

        Dim seekclass As Range

    Dim class_per_to_count As String
    
    'Indicate the class whose periods you wish to find
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        class_per_to_count = UCase(Application.InputBox("Please indicate which class's periods do you wish to find." _
           & vbNewLine _
           & vbNewLine _
           & "                                               Thank you" _

'Where to look for the class

'Determine if the class is in the range of classes, here  Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("V18:AX18")

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

Hi,
you need to include a line in your code to test for cancel button press

Rich (BB code): 
Dim class_per_to_count As Variant
  
    'Indicate the class whose periods you wish to find
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        class_per_to_count = UCase(Application.InputBox("Please indicate which class's periods do you wish to find." _
           & vbNewLine _
           & vbNewLine _
           & "                                               Thank you" _
           & vbNewLine _
           & vbNewLine, "                     Number periods of a class", Type:=2))
         
        'cancel pressed
        If class_per_to_count = False Then Exit Sub

'rest of code

note change of variable class_per_to_count data type to Variant to handle boolean values

The most reliable way is to take UCase out of the InputBox line, and use it later.

VBA Code: 
class_per_to_count = Application.InputBox("Long prompt", Type:=2)
If class_per_to_count = False Then Exit Sub
class_per_to_count = UCase$(class_per_to_count)
' rest of code

Hi dmt32 and Jon Peltier

Thanks for your for help.

I have tweaked the code a bit and its now doing what it is suppose to do!.

I place the revised code.

VBA Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()
        
        Dim myRange As Variant
        Dim foundIt As Range

    'Indicate the class whose periods you wish to find
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        class_per_to_count = UCase(Application.InputBox("Please indicate which class's periods do you wish to find." _
