Well, I'm entering a value (date) into the InputBox, and then reading from the InputBox to ColumnA. You're correct. I didn't phrase it as well as I could have.
I believe both the options that you mentioned would work fine. I'm not sure how to do the coding. Surely, you know Matlab better than I know it.
I never got your code sample to work. It said something about the Try Catch being incorrect. It looks fine to me. I didn't know how to interpret that error.
Do you have an idea what the actual code will look like? If not, I'll have to do a lot more fiddling with this thing. I spent a while on it yesterday, and got as far as my last post.
Thanks!!
