Answer 1

I don't completely understand your question but if my assumption is correct... you want to have a cell where someone can enter some sort of name, where you can then use their input to do some other operations.

To start, you would want to grab a string variable (by grab I mean create)

Example:

Dim strName As String

Then you would want to be able to read a specific cell.... In the next example the cell will be A2

Example:

strName = Range("Sheet1!A2").Value

If you named the first sheet something different use that name. If the user inputs a name into that cell you can then use it later to do calculations or anything you want.

Answer 2

If you are not using VBA code then what are you using?

If using MS Query, try changing the SQL text to

{CALL roc(?)}

and IIRC this should prompt the user to enter text for the parameter value.
