Greetings,

I currently have one Excel workbook with two separate, but similar
macros, outputting data to two separate ,but similar, worksheets based
on a date the user enters in the input box triggered by each
procedure.

I am attempting to stream line this process: one input box to capture
a date, execute the two macros, and output the results to a single
worksheet.

I created a new macro that clears the composite worksheet, evokes the
input box, and then runs the two original macros.

QUESTION:  How do I get the Input Box value to carry/store for use
with Macro X and Macro Y?  My Goal is to discontinue user interacting
with two separate dialog boxes which were associated with the original
macros.  I'd like one Input Box, capture the date, and use that date
entry in both Macro X and Macro Y.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
tdb

Here is the rewritten macro (Currently, the macro runs, but I do not
get any output, so the date entered in input box is being dropped
somewhere)

'Clears the output ranges in the prod plan summary sheet
   Sheets("CombinedX&Y").Select
   Range("A7:A300").Select
   Selection.ClearContents
   Range("D7:R300").Select
   Selection.ClearContents

Dim BeginDate As Date

'InputBox to replace MS Excel 5 Dialog Box
    BeginDate = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Enter Begin Date As mm/
dd/yy", _
    Title:="BEGIN DATE", Default:="", Type:=1)

'If user cancels the event autocalc turned on and ends macro
   If BeginDate = False Then
   MsgBox "Operation Cancelled"
   Exit Sub
   End If

'Format BeginDate input to resolve data type mismatch error
   BeginDate = Format(BeginDate, "Short Date")

''Run  Macro X
Application.Run "ExcelFile1.xls'!Module4.MacroX"

'Run Macro Y
Application.Run "ExcelFile1.xls'!Module1.MacroY"
End Sub
