I have been putting together a script to move files from one folder to another while renaming them with random elements in the file name. As this has involved using a series of consecutive input boxes it made me wonder if it were possible to create a single multi-input dialogue or message box using vbscript. I couldn't find anything to show if this was possible and before I do anything further with the script I was wondering if anyone knew if multi-input is possible. I have attached the script which is quite rough with no error checking as yet but it does what I want it to do. I would appreciate anything on multi-input.
Thank you
