I created a password protected form on access 2007 by following this site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179371

It works fine but when I am prompt to type in a password, the password I type is visible instead of showing a mask (i.e. *******).

What do I do to mask the password when I type it in.

Thanks.

Set the INPUT mask for the text box to the word:

PASSWORD

and it will then mask it.

Which text box? For the instructions on the site I didn't need to create a password text box.

Sorry, didn't see that it was an input box. Normally I build my own form so I can do that easily.

You'll probably need the function in this thread (to mask an inputbox):
