Not displaying Input in Input Box

D

dhstein

We have a PC that is in general use and an Access database is running there.
There is one function that I want to "control" by putting out an input box to
request a password or a challenge so that only the correct response allows
the function. I'd like to mask the response with XXXXX just like most
password inputs do. Is there a way to allow the user to type something that
doesn't get echoed to the screen? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Not by using the standard Input Box, but you can with your own custom form.
Just set the InputMask on the textbox on the form to:

Password

and asterisks will populate the textbox as you type.
