Hi,

I need to ask a password for different part of my
program. I know I can either use a form or the command
Inputbox to do so.

Form : create a field and then change the inputmask
property to Password (That would do the trick ... but)

So ... is it possible to use the inputbox command (to ask
the password) and having a password configuration.

Meaning ... anyone near the keyboard will only see *** as
the password is typed, instead of the real password.

If it is possible to do so ... How can I do it?

ex: MyString=inputbox("Enter password") (What else do I
need to not see the ouput on the screen?)


Thanks for your help,

The built-in Access Input Box cannot be changed.
You'll have to use a form.
Open the form in acDialog so processing will wait until the password
is entered.
