Hello there

I have on many areas at my program an input box that uses to enter password.

Is there a way to show in the input box ***** instead of the exect numbers i
enter?

If you are talking about a textbox on a form, yes. Open the property sheet
for the textbox and click on the Inputmask property. Click on the button
with three dots ... And it will open a wizard. One of the selections is a
password field.

Some time back a poster explained a way to make API calls to accomplish that,
but "as normally configured" no. You would need to use your own form for the
dialog instead of using an InputBox. Not that difficult really. You just open
it with the acDialog option, and have your [OK] button hide the form instead of
closing it. Then your calling code can read the entered value and close the
form.
