Hi all,

I'm trying to use an InputBox to enter a password, but I'm having a problem formatting it to the password format.

Here's the code I'm currently using, but it doesn't work to protect the input box entry,

inpPassword = Format(InputBox("Enter Password"), "Password")

Any Ideas?

Input boxes do not allow password concealing. You'd have to create a modal, pop-up form and put a field on it that has a password format on it. On the textbox's AfterUpdate event, pass the value back to the calling form.

Greg,

Thanks for your reply. I didn't know that, and I was trying to avoid creating another form. Thanks for the help.

You could also try to use an input mask on the text box. There is a Password format as one of the presets (I am using Access 2003)
