Variable Question- Input in msg box & use later on scrip

[mdv3k]

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question for you guys.

quick explanation of what the macro will do;
look for files with specific acronyms.

I wanted to build a macro where a message box comes up asking the user to enter the acronym, and then depending on what the user entered, then use it later on in the macro.


I got the macro to work perfectly , but when i try to add a Message<Input box is where i cant really figure out how to tell the macro "whatever the user puts here, then use it later on here"

I do not have the code with me at the moment, but i will really apreciate some help with a very easy example.

Thanks a lot! in advance!
Martin

Yes, that is fine. It WILL work.

Make sure the correct window is focused (use SetFocus) before attempting to send the text with Send.
