Password Character in MS Access 2003

I can Not find any "Password Character" property, in MS Access 2003, for my
TextBox, which is used for entering the password.
Any help please!
 
Why are you building a textbox to enter a password? Access comes with
user-level security. What will prevent the user from looking at your code
to see the password? Or, what will prevent them from simply going around
you and getting to the data in the table or the query?

That being said, there is an INPUT MASK of PASSWORD that will mask your
entry as all asterisks.
 
In my project, some information has to be kept from everyone. For that
purpose, I have to use one form to restrict the entry into that particular
information to the privileged ones only.

Anyhow, Input Mask DOES NOT WORK.

I am looking for a better and professional solution.
 
What is your definition of "DOES NOT WORK"?

I just created a form in Access 2003, added a text box to it and set the
text box's Input Mask to PASSWORD, and what I typed into that field came up
as asterisks, yet I was able to refer to the text box in a message box and
displayed what I actually typed in.

For what it's worth, that's the "official" way of doing it in Access.
