Mask input box vba. Vba inputbox is inbuilt function used to get a value from the user this function has two major arguments in which one is the heading for the input box and another is the question for the input box input box function can store only the data types input which it variable can hold. Access ignores any input masks when you import data run an action query or enter characters in a control by setting the control s text property in visual basic or by using the setvalue action in a macro.

I was given the task of fixing a date input on a vba form. Vba here is the code it pops up when clicked on the button but does not accept input as password but in text format only. You cannot add a mask to the input box but what you can do is create a loop which starts by displaying the input box then check what was entered and if it was wrong redisplay the input box perhaps with a note added to say it was wrong or if it was ok.

Below is my vba code. Rob s response did not seem very helpful the process is the same in all versions of vba. You can specify the response type from the user. I d appreciate anyone s help on this.
Read carefully the question please it mentions excel vba. Displays an input box waits for the user to either i input information and click the ok button or press the enter key or ii click the cancel button or press the esc key. And returns the information entered in the dialog box if the user clicks ok or presses enter or the false boolean value if the user clicks cancel. I am required to use an input mask not allowed to do something as validating date after or using a calendar.
If you want to get a single piece of text or value from the user you can use the inputbox.
