I need to modify a inputbox so that the text inside the textbox is crypted, for example in a password prompt. The user should type a password into the textbox, but the characters should appear as " ****** ". Is there any way I can accomplish this through VB code or any other method.

You will need to create a Input Form vice using the InputBox.

You just create a small form with a Dialog Border and any buttons you want. Make sure you turn the Close/Min/Max buttons off along with the control box. Change the form caption to the desired Input Box message.

Add a label to add your Message text. Then add a Text Field Set its format to Password. Now set a Global Variable in you Access App to collect the value of the inputbox and use this to evaluate the Password.

Access did not create a method of formating the input in the InputBox thus allowing for many possible problems (such as this one).

Thanks Travis, that worked great. I wasn't aware that you could not modify the InputBox function in that manner...you saved me hours of frustration.Thanks again.
