I have an Unbound Textbox that I enter a password into and I can only
enter Numbers. I want to be able to enter either numbers or letters or
a combination of both but when I try to enter anything but a number I
get "Type Mismatch". I have nothing in Format, Where and how do you
change this to make it accept anything?
Thanks

That's odd. It's in fact unbound? The Control Source should be blank;
you should also make sure that the Input Mask property is blank, or
that it allows text input. An input mask of "Password" will allow the
user to type any characters but they'll be displayed as *****
onscreen.

You're positive? Did you check the Properties of the control on the Event
tab?

When you get the Type Mismatch error, does the message box have choices on
it? Such as Debug, Stop, etc.?
 
Check the data type of the field bound to the text box, bet it is a number

In his original post, the OP states that the textbox is unbound.
