on my test, on immediate window, It Will Show:Set textbox InputMask property to Password. Can't copy from the textbox. At least, that's what happened in my test. Will not copy to Windows clipboard.
Well I just tried arnel's solution and it shows the same as his button?on my test, on immediate window, It Will Show:
?Forms!theFormName!theTextboxName
did it show? show what, the real "text" (not the one displayed on the textbox).Well I just tried arnel's solution and it shows the same as his button?
Yes, fake text.did it show? show what, the real "text" (not the one displayed on the textbox).
i just test using:
?forms!form2!text0
it shows the "fake" text.
what did he asked?Plus it is not what he asked for this thread
Hi Arnel,what did he asked?
the code i gave can hide the "true" text, thus prevent
others from copying (the real text).
the Title is "restrict" but the request on post#1 is to "protect".
you can't copy it in the clipboard, but in Immediate window or a Messagebox, it will show:I can't even copy the contents (not sure how that works, but it's clever).
Yet, you could not be bothered to check for yourself?I believe I clearly explained the problem.
my concern is when some authorities enters thier passwords in text box to approve something, (the textbox already set to InputMask property to Password ) can other user copy the **** password data by pressing cntrl C and paste some where or convert. THis is what I want to stop
