PasswordDialog.dot

[Karin]

Can I get the code from the PasswordDialog.dot - file from
anywhere else than from the Office 2000 Developer CD? I
just need an example of how to prompt for a password and
mask the input and don't have the developer Edition!

Karin,

To mask the input you have to use a UserForm with a Textbox control - a
simple InputBox will not suffice. One of the properties of the Textbox
control is "PasswordChar", which allows you to set a masking character, such
as "*". If you've never created a UserForm, check out the article How To
Create A UserForm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm.
