With the InputBox you cannot distinguish between the cases
a:- Cancel clicked
b:- nothing entered and OK clicked
because in both cases the returned string is a vbNullString
There is a simple trick however as is shown here

Dim UserInput As String
UserInput = InputBox("Please type in nothing or some text and click OK or Cancel", "Distinguish")
Select Case True
Case StrPtr(UserInput) = 0
MsgBox "You clicked Cancel"
Case Len(UserInput)
MsgBox "You typed """ & UserInput & """ and clicked OK"
Case Else
MsgBox "You typed nothing and clicked OK"
End Select
End Sub
