The most basic form, in vb or vba:

msgbox "The Prompt Here"

Look in the VB function documentation for the msgbox function for more variations.

I can't remember if there is a Prompt function, but you can certainly create your own form to cater for it.

The function you want is InputBox.

Something like:
Code:
Dim SearchWord
SearchWord = InputBox("Enter your search word")
