Sub New_Name() Dim tName tName = Application.InputBox("Enter New Name") Range("A1").Value = tName End Sub

The macro below allows me to input the text, but getting it to go somewhere eludes me. I realize that "Copy.Name" doesn't work but how do i direct the entered text to a cell? Suggestions appreciated.
