I would like a passwork character to display upon typing in a textbox on a
form. How would I go about doing this?
 
Hi, Cody.

If these characters are going to be saved in a table, then open the table in
Design View and select the text field name in the upper grid. In the lower
grid, select the Input Mask Property and either type PASSWORD (or use the
expressions builder (...) to the right to create the password input mask).
All forms, reports, and queries displaying this field will show all
characters as asterisks.

If this is an unbound text box, then open the form in Design View and select
the text box, then open the Properties dialog window. Select the Data tab
and then select the Input Mask Property. Type Password (or use the
expression builder (...)) as the Property. Save the form and then open it in
Form View. Type any characters into the text box and they'll be each be
replaced by the asterisk character.

HTH.
