I am trying to create an input box that allows a user to input a password but I want the password to show as stars or something that anyone overlooking their shoulder cannot see. I am using excel 2003 and I have searched numerous different options for this and cannot find an answer.

Anyone any ideas?
 
Simplest way would be to change the font color of the password box to white...

hi,

Use an ActiveX (COntrol Toolbox) TextBox control and assign the Password property with the character desired.
