Password Entry

I have a table in which each record has an individuals password. The record
sends the user name authorized to update that record to a form. I need a
TextBox in which to enter the password so that "*******' (astericks) will
show when the password is entered.

Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

As posted many times, why not use the built in security? Why are you
reinventing the wheel? What prevents your user from opening the table
directly and making changes? What prevents them from opening the table and
seeing all the passwords? Doesn't your user get annoyed at having to enter
passwords every time they want to make a change?


All that being said, there is a built-in input mask of "password" that
displays "*"s.
 
FYI;
In our State of the Union a teacher is not legally permitted to view a
student in a subject other than her own. We must enter the password every
time whether we like it or not when reviewing a student in our class. Sorry,
somtimes what is common in some cases is not the situation in all cases.

Thanks for getting back!
 
No, you would have each user sign on to the databse ONCE when they open it.

Then, all queries would limit the records to only include the ones for that
teacher.

Implementing user-level security is really the only way to do waht you
mention and prevent a teacher from going AROUND your security and looking
directly at the table.
