    Input box help

    I need help getting an input box to open when the user clicks on a Cell (A3) I then want the number that is entered to be added to E3. everytime the user enters a number I want need it to add to the existing total
    (Eg, E3=10 User enters 5, E3 now equals 15.)
    The total should just keep growing. The worsheet has approx 900 lines (starts at A3) I am trying to keep running totals.
    I am not sure if I need to have hidden sheets to get it to keep adding to the existing totals.


    Thanks for your help.

    This works for the one cell, but I ned to make it work on any cell in that column. I am no sure how to manipulate this to do that.
