    Solved: inputbox not keying value

    Im using the following code for an input box that when the cell is selected the inputbox shows up with the current cell value highlighted to overwrite.

    Problem is when I key a new value it does not input into the cell. The same value stays.

    [VBA]Dim str As String
    str = InputBox(("Please Key in new Number"), "Title", "$" & ActiveCell.Value)
    If StrPtr(str) = 0 Then
    End If
    [/VBA]

    Any suggestions where I'm going wrong?

    [VBA]str = InputBox("Please Key in new Number", "Title", "$" & ActiveCell.Value)
    If StrPtr(str) <> 0 Then ActiveCell.Value = str
    [/VBA]

    why $ sign before Activecell.Value?
