InputBox Password format....

[Mitch_____W]

I am using an input box for a password entry for a form to allow edits. Is there any way to keep the input hidden, as a password typically is, as it is typed in the input box?

Thanks in advance...

BTW: I am utilizing the code suggested in a previous reply to somebody else's post several weeks ago... Thank you for the code suggestion!!!

Set the TextBox InputMask value to Password.

Then anything typed will appear as ****.

HTH

Actually I am not using a textbox... I am using the InputBox() Function..

Sorry, missed that InputBox comment.

Do not know anyway to do this with an InputBox.

Is there any reason why you can't use VBA to launch a form rather than use the InputBox for the password?

Yes. I have already started going that direction, however the problem I am facing now is how to let the module for this "password form" know which form is calling for it since each of my forms require different passwords. I could create several "password forms" but I would rather figure out how to use one for all. I want to have all of the password code to reside in this one "password Form" and utilize a SELECT CASE for the determination of which form is calling for it, then put the password verification and action (which is AllowEdits for the respective form and close the "password form") code in each respective case.

Guess I veered away from the original topic...

Thanks again!!!

Can't you use If IsLoaded to enable one form's event for multiple forms.

Not sure if this is going to help in this scenario, but I had a similar problem with being able to identify the form Event that was calling a function.
