assuming you mean a Textbox ...
ensure you see the "toolbox" dialog
menu View|toolbox
drag the textbox icon over onto your form
size and position to taste

No such thing in VB's Toolbox. Don't make things worse for Christian by
giving bad information.

here is the sample code! just copy and paste the code and run.

Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim Message, Title, Default, MyValue
Message = "Enter a value between 1 and 3" ' Set prompt.
Title = "InputBox Demo" ' Set title.
Default = "1" ' Set default.
' Display message, title, and default value.
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)

' Use Helpfile and context. The Help button is added automatically.
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, , , , "DEMO.HLP", 10)

' Display dialog box at position 100, 100.
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default, 100, 100)

End Sub

Hope that can help you!

I think you might need to be a little more specific as to what you mean
and how it's supposed to be used if the responses so far haven't
answered your question. An "input box" could be a few differen things,
and then there is the case where you put up a dialog of sorts, asking
the user to type information into the box just presented, or it could be
a TextBox ... etc..
Don't be shy with words, but do be as specific/concise with your
question as you can. And lurk a LOT in this group; you'll learn more
than you ever imagined you could about VB6 .

InputBox = evil

Sorry to keep ragging on you. I know you're just trying to help. But
InputBox is still bad advice.

Gotta be patient around here An hour isn't long to wait, at all. This
isn't a chat forum.... and, everyone's problems are urgent. That's why these
groups exist.... but, even people paying to use these groups have to wait...
iirc, MS "guarantees" an answer within 3 days.

Au contraire. MSDN subscribers who register (and post with) a phoney email address
are indeed promised a MSFT response here.

The "MSDN Managed Newsgroups"... this is one of them... and MSDN subscribers
pay dearly. Not directly, but since it's included in the subscription price,
it has to be included in as part of the cost.
