Just make a small login input form of your own to take the password and set the input mask to Password.

Edit: misread original thread the below is about converting a 32bit app to 64bit. Converting a 32bit app on 32bit windows to run as a 32bit app on 64bit windows should not require any conversion since 64bit windows supports 32bit apps
——————————————-

If you want to stick with all that code, you need to use ptrSafe and where appropriate change longs to longptr.

if you want your app to work in both 32 and 64 then you also need to use conditional compilation

Only just noticed this thread. In case you are still interested, A Bing/Google search should have picked up this page on my website where the 64-bit conversion has already been done:
