Inputbox in VB / VBA

Hi

I hope this is an easy problem - I need to have an input box for a user to enter a password. However, there seems to be no mask to cover the characters they are writing.

Is it possible to have an input box which has astericks when the user enters a password?

not that I have ever found, alternatively you could create a small form with 1 field and apply an input mask.

Use the PasswordChar property? Unless I've got the wrong end of the stick :confused:

Edit: Sorry, I was thinking about text boxes

It's not a perfect solution, but try this:

Thanks

I went for the form approach, from the vbforums link, and it works really nicely!
