Input mask on Input box

[charityg]

Is there any way to create an input box with a password input mask? I need to place a password lock on some of the features of my database app and I don't want to create a separate popup form for password entry because it will be a pain. An input box would flow much easier. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Charity

Don't think you can do that .. so your separate popup modal form may be the answer.

Hello Charity.

I agree with Rich. For a password mask on an InputBox, a form is the simplest method. However, if you'd like I can email you a sample database in Access 97. It contains a password dialog form and a function I wrote called InputForm that works basically the same as InputBox but with a password mask. Just import the form and module into your current project and you should be good to go.
