Hi,

Can someone help me with this please? Originally I was having trouble with entering a date in the input box, but that now works really well.
Now I want to add another input box which asks for the user name (see last 2x lines of code below. This part isn't working or looking right. I wouldn't mind if both input boxes came up at the same time, if possible/easy enough to do..

VBA Code:
Private Sub Post_Journal()
 Dim StartDate As Date
 Dim MsgDate As String
 Dim TitleDate As String
 Dim response As String
 
 MsgDate = "Enter date journal posted (d/mm/yy)"
    TitleMsg = "Journal Post Date"
 
curdate = Date

StartDate = Application.InputBox(MsgDate, TitleMsg, FormatDateTime(curdate, vbShortDate), Type:=1)

Range("Z2").Value = StartDate

reponse = InputBox("Enter User Name")
Range("Z1").Value = response

End Sub

Thank you!

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Ok.
But in your last post you said:
enter date - enter user name
But you asked for Date and Range(A1) value
So do you have what you want now

So if you always want user to enter Todays Date
Why need a Input Box Why not just have the script automatically enter Todays date.
And if always enter UserName why not have the script automatically do this with no need for any Input boxes.
Usually it will be today's date but not always. They may not recognise that they've posted the journal, until the following day for example.
The person posting the journal will mostly always be the user of the spreadsheet (A1) but not necessarily all the time. Someone may do a journal on their behalf (senior authority for example).
Yes, I have everything I need now. Thanks again!
