Creating passwords for areas of my front end

[Ed Handley]

I need to provise a password lock for certain areas of the fromt ent of our
database but I cannot find a way to prevent the characters typed from
echoing back to the screen. I realise this is probably dead simple but I
can't find anything in the help files.

You have to use your own form with a TextBox (not an InputBox) and then use
the input mask "Password" on the control.

Change the InputMask property of the form to password.

If you really want any degree of security you should consider implementing
