Default Format inputbox

I'm tinkering around with a biometric sensor and I got it to recognize the input from an inputbox but it displays the phrase in plane text.

Is there any way to format the inputbox characters to asterisks like how "password" is used as the input mask in a text box and all the typed characters are masked as asterisks?


Thanks,
Jesse

Maybe you could replace the Inputbox with a small Form with only the one field that you use as the "Input" field. This means that you can change the format of that field as you wish and even trigger code to run on if based upon 'AfterUpdate' event. Hope this helps.
