I am trying to password protect a form (SASMenu), but have come across what seems a common problem.The text the user types is displayed instead of having an input mask of ********

I have looked but have found no way on formating the inputbox.

From a thread I found I have created a new form, with a text box (password) and a cmd button to load the form(SASMenu)the code of the command button is below.

However when trying run this I get an error: Object doesn't support this property or method.

Where am I going wrong?

I did take the time to write the module and table for the password (code taken from the MS site) I would prefer to use that method if possible, but how do I do this without an input box so that the password is not shown?

Any help would be much appreciated

:)

Private Sub Command2_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command2_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

If [Password] = "Password" Then

stDocName = "Screen4 - SAS Main Menu"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
DoCmd.Close acForm, "AccessScreen"
Else

MsgBox "The password you have entered in incorrect"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "AccessScreen"

End If

Exit_Command2_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command2_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command2_Click

End Sub
