Input Box coding

[cheoke]

I need a little help figuring out how I can get a certain data range using an input box command. Here is the code I have so far

Function Getdatarange()
Getdatarange = InputBox("Enter type of data for export")
    Dim SS As Range
    Dim XFMR As Range
    Dim CT As Range
    Dim LC As Range
    Dim wordApp As Object
    Dim fNameAndPath As String
   Set SS = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A1:S16")
   Set XFMR = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("B25:H36")
   Set CT = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("M21:R24")
   Set LC = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("M31:R34")
    fNameAndPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\Gerard\My Documents\BOM.doc"
    Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    wordApp.Documents.Open (fNameAndPath)
    wordApp.Visible = True
End Function

When I run the program now I can input a phrase, but nothing is returned. I would like to be able to input Safety Switch(SS) or Transformer(XFMR) into the body of the input box and have the returned range copied and pasted onto the new word file. Can this be accomplished? Thank You in advance

You have the input in the variable Getdatarange. Where do you want to use it?

Im not exactly sure what you mean by that, but the data im referring to in my ranges is in sheet 3 of excel

Your code isn't copying anything into the word document, but if your input is the name of a named range you can use:

Worksheets("Sheet3").Range(Getdatarange).Copy

 

[cheoke]

could you possibly show me how to modify the code I have so that data will get copied and show up on the BOM document?

 

[cheoke]

Anyone?

You haven't said what you want to copy or where it needs to go in your document.

Based on what I enter into the Input box is what I want copied. For example if I type in SS into the input box I want the data in range A1:S16 to get copied and so on. I want that data to be pasted into the word app that Im calling to be created. I apologize for any confusion Im not really VBA savvy so its hard for me to put into words what Im trying to accomplish

I tried to set SS = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A1:S16").Copy , but the data range only gets highlighted likes its being copied but doesn't paste anywhere and it only works when I type in SS, but I need it to copy CT, XFMR, and LC as well
