I have a section of code below from a much larger piece. The section of code worked when using an input box to acquire a userinput. However, I'd like to have userform replace the inputbox. I've tried just using a userform and inserting the line (as seen below) but that didn't work. I need the rest of the code below to call to the userform, allow the user to input data into textbox1, and then return to the lines of code being run.

thanks for the help

Code:
dim s as string

If s = "" then
'this works
s = inputbox("Please input here",vbokonly)

'I wish this worked instead
call userform17
s = userform17.textbox1.value
unload userform17

'rest of this section of working code
If s <> "" then 
blah blah blah
 
HEY! Worked like a champ there!!

thank you very much!!!

One last question-
how do I remove the msgbox that pops up that just says whatever was input?

Code:
Sub DemoTestDate()'First time initializing Code
Dim s As String
Dim name As String
Dim resp As Integer
Dim bdate As String
Dim ddate As String
name = Sheets("Notes").Range("N4")
bdate = Sheets("Developer").Range("A36")
ddate = Sheets("Developer").Range("C34")


s = GetSetting("DemoTest", "Registration", "Username")
If s = "" Then
        Sheets("Developer").Unprotect Password:=Worksheets("Developer").Range("B15:E15").Value
        Sheets("Developer").Range("B34:F34").ClearContents
        's = InputBox("Welcome to the " & namer & " Voyage Reporting System." & vbCrLf & "Please input the appropriate name to initialize the system for the first time." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Note: this information can be modified later by clicking on the [Developer] button.", namer, "Bridge")
        'UserForm17.Show
        s = cInputBox()
        MsgBox s
        
        If s <> "" Then
            's = cInputBox()
            Sheets("Developer").Unprotect Password:=Worksheets("Developer").Range("B15:E15").Value
            Sheets("Developer").Range("B34") = s
            SaveSetting "DemoTest", "Registration", "Username", s
            Sheets("Notes").Visible = xlSheetVisible
            Sheets("Notes").Select
            Sheets("Developer").Range("C36") = Date
            'If s <> "" Then MsgBox "Welcome to the " & name & " Voyage Reporting System." & vbCrLf & "Please input the appropriate data to initialize the system for the first time." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Note: this information can be modified later by clicking on the [Developer] button.", vbOKOnly, name
            Application.Visible = True
            Sheets("Developer").Protect Password:=Worksheets("Developer").Range("B15:E15").Value
        End If
End If
End Sub
