Passwords

Hello, I am using the function InputBox to limit the use of a VBA procedure.
I would like the typed in password only to display the * for each character
as happens with Microsoft generated password requests.
Thank you.

You can't. The InputBox is pretty limited.

What you *can* do is use a small unbound popup Form, with a textbox with an
input mask property of "Password".

John has the correct answer; however, be aware a competent Access developer
can break almost all passwords within minutes.
