Does anyone know how I can make every character that is entered into a text box be displayed as an asterix. As you have probably assumed, it is for a password field :cool:
 
Look for the PasswordChar property on the text box. Exists in VB, not sure about Access.

Unfortunately I only have Office 2000 Professional, not Premium, so for me to set the inputmask I will have to code it. Do you know how I can achieve this using code??
I've been told that the InputMask property is read-only.. is this correct?
 
I'm using access 97. I have no idea how this is done in acc2000, in acc97 you can set the property in code like this.

TextBox.InputMask="Password"

Maybe it will work on 2000 too. You can set the property in the OnOpen event sub.

Hope this will be of some help.
