2 = The Timeout time was reached. 3 = The InputBox failed to open. This is usually caused by bad arguments. Remarks The InputBox is user-resizable, but has a minimum size of approximately 190 x 115 pixels. Default size is approximately 250 x 190 pixels. The string returned will not exceed 254 characters and if input contains carriage returns or linefeeds, the result will be truncated at the first occurrence of those characters. The second and subsequent characters of the password field can be used to restrict input. Use a space to fill the first character to still see the characters typed. Putting an M after the first character indicates that input is Mandatory; i.e. you must enter something. Nothing will happen if you press the Ok button when there is nothing in the InputBox. It will not close and return the string. You can also specify the maximum length in the end of the password field. Just enter a number as the last character to specify the length of the string.
