Password check for *****

[mohebk]

Hi,
I have a log in window with a text field for the password. The text box's input mask is set for PASSWORD to display ****. But when I try to verify the password, the code is rading the password as **** and not finding the match.

Can you please help?
Thanks in advance.

How are ya mohebk . . .

Its sounds like your using the [blue]Text[/blue] property of the control:

[blue]   Dim PWD as String

   PWD = Me![purple][b]TextboxName[/b][/purple].Text[/blue]

Use the default value property instead:

[blue]   Dim PWD as String

   PWD = Me![purple][b]TextboxName[/b][/purple][/blue]

See Ya! . . . . . .

You are right. I was using the .text property. I used .value and it worked great.

Thanks a lot

Be aware: When no property is supplied the [blue]default implied property[/blue] is the [blue]Value[/blue] property, so that:

[blue]   PWD = Me!TextboxName
[purple]is the same as[/purple]
   PWD = Me!TextboxName.Value[/blue]

It makes for easier reading of code!

See Ya! . . . . . .
