In the properties for the text box set the Input mask to "Password".

You cannot format an inputbox.
What you can do, is create a new form with just one textbox.
You then must do what jkl0 says: set the Input mask to "Password"
The result from the textbox you put in a variable.

Yes you can format an input box to hide the keyed values.

I do not like to use input boxes for a variety of reasons but if you really have the need to do it then check this out... Disable Shift Key
