Your code does not add a sheet when you press cancel when I tried it.

how can i generally disable an inputbox if the user do not enter a value.

Do you mean if they click NO or if they click Cancel?
With your code when they click cancel it exits the sub and no sheet is added.
If they click NO then a sheet is added as you have instructed it to do....you could give it a default name using an if statement...

I'm sorry but I really do not understand the question.

Dim useResponce As String, newSheet As Worksheet
useResponce = Application.InputBox("New sheet name, please", Type:=2)
If useResponce = "False" Then
MsgBox "Cancel pressed"
Else
Rem Add a sheet
Set Worksheet = Worksheets.Add
If useResponce <> vbNullString Then newSheet.Name = useResponce
End If

Moshe,
Here is a revised version of your code:
Sub AddWorksheet6()
On Error Resume Next
Dim response
Dim sht As Worksheet
response = MsgBox("Do you want to name the sheet ?" _
, vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel, "add a new w.s")
Select Case response
Case vbCancel
Exit Sub
Case vbNo
Set sht = Worksheets.Add
Case vbYes
response = InputBox("enter sheet name", "sheet name", "name goes here")
If Len(response) = 0 Then Exit Sub
Set sht = Worksheets.Add
sht.Name = response
End Select
MsgBox " new sheet added as requested - " & sht.Name, vbInformation, _
"new sheet added" & " - " & Format(Now, "dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss")
End Sub

You need something like the HTML Help workshop. Unless you have a lot more stuff to put in it, it would be a lot of work for something as simple as this code!
