Inputbox entry list

[Guest]

Hi All,
Is it possible to limit the type of responses that the user can make in
resposne to the Inputbox function.
For example, I have a control button that when clicked will open a report.
Now I want the user to have the option of choosing either a long version or a
short version of the report. But I'm thinking it would be easier if the user
only selects a response (e.g., either "short" or "long" report).
If the Input box is not possible to achieve this, what other achieveable
ways are there? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Why not build a nice custom form that has a listbox, or perhaps a combo box
that ONLY lets the user take one of two choices?

No need to use inputbox when you can build a nice custom form.

Take a look at the following screen shots...these are ALL prompt forms....

So, the above should give you some ideas. A nice form that presents the
possible options is far better then a inpubox.

you can certainly limit the values in a inputbox by re-prompting the user
until they enter one of two values, but, that is not the most user friendly
approach.

Thanks Albert.
I was hoping to find a shortcut by seeing if we can put a listbox in an
inputbox.
But I will try your suggestion. Thanks again.
