Hmmm... looks like a good way to get locked into an infinite loop.
If I understand the problem correctly(????) you can do away with your
WAIT loop.  The OK command button should already have a click event set
up... "Command1_Click" or whatever the cntlname of your OK button is.
In the Command1_Click you could try to call your MY-INPUT-BOX.  Are you
setting this up as a control array or do you have 10 forms set up for
each of your input-boxes?  If you have 10 forms set up you can make each
MODAL and then do a SHOW in the Command1_CLick to go to the next box (and
lock the others out).
In lieu of the above idea(s) you might try a DO_EVENTS (look in the VB
manual) to break the dead-lock you get into in the WAIT portion of your
code...
Good Luck!
