Can an InputBox be Formated to show **** instead of text ???? 1

[Jelloshot1]

I'm using Access 97 and have a need for some security (passwords) within the database.

I am using an InputBox that promts the user for their password before it opens another form. I have the passwords stored in a table with the Imput Mask set to "Password" thus when viewing the table, all passwords show up as ****. Everything works well with the exception of the InputBox that promts for the password. It shows the password the is being typed.

Is there any way to format the InputBox to show what the user puts in as **** instead of what they actually type???

Any help would be greatly appreciated! This has been driving me crazy weeks now!

I think I've found a way around this problem, but I'd love to find another (correct) solution.
