Visual Basic Text Box

[Legs]

I am Trying to make a message box with somewhere to enter a persons name so that different responces come onscreen depending on whos name you put in. What do you type in on the visual basic to do this?

Try using an InputBox. Look it up in Help, and if you still can't figure it out, let us know what you've tried (post the code) and we'll help you out.

thanks! it worked! this is wot i put:
Sub the2()
Dim msg, style, title, responce, mystring
msg = "Enter name"
style = vbinputbox
title = "What is your Name?"

responce = inputbox(msg, title, style)

If responce = "keiron" Then DoCmd.RunMacro "the"
If responce = "Jon" Then DoCmd.RunMacro "the2"
End Sub

is there a way to then put a message with the responce name in it?

How about

MsgBox "Your response was: " & responce

HTH,
