keypress with inputbox

[Guest]

Is there a way to have a keypress event occur on typing information in an
input box? Think of it as an encrypted display for a password window.
Basically, I want the repsonse to the inputbox to be something like all x's
or *'s so someone standing over my shoulder can't see what was typed. Is
this possible or do I need to use something like a sub-form with a field that
has the keypress event?

Any help would be appreciated (including other ideas on how to accomplish
this....)

Thanks

Don

Why not build a custom form that looks much like the input box?

You can then place a text box on the form..and set the input mask to
"PASSWORD".

When you type into the box..you will see *******

It was designed to do exactly what you need.....
