Data Access Page - questions with msoTextBox

[Guest]

I am trying to create some data access pages and I am trying to make the
textbox (msoTextBox) respond like a textbox in Access. First I want it to
show '*' when I type - such as for entering passwords. I don't see the same
properties available in the data access page. How can I make it do this.

Also, I don't want the textboxes to accept enter (return). I again don't
see the same properties. I am fairly new to Access and HTML but have
extensive experience using visual basic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Below is the sample code for the password style textbox.

Thanks,

Tom

<TEXTAREA class=MsoTextbox id=Password style="LEFT: 4.792in; VISIBILITY:
hidden; TEXT-TRANSFORM: uppercase; WIDTH: 100px; POSITION: absolute; TOP:
1.167in; HEIGHT: 22px" tabIndex=20 cols=1 MsoTextAlign="General"></TEXTAREA>

For a form - that works fine. I can right click the control and pick
properties, select 'data' and then in 'Input Mask', I can select 'Password'.
But as I said this is on a data access page. If I right click the control
and select 'Element Properties' and then go to the 'data' tab; there is no
'Input Mask' option. Nor can I see it in code. when I type and after the
period it brings up the popup window with the possible choices and i don't
see it there either? Perhaps I am missing something?

Thanks,

Tom

Hey Tom,this is the same thing that has been happening to me did you get any
more information on the subject?? I think we have to use the Microsoft script
editior. This will include code, however I dont know what code, cause I cant
get anyting to work. Maybe we can help each other find information. Thanks

I had to change from using a Text Box to using an Input Box.

thanks for the heads up, although I was really wondering how you figured out,
the InputMask problem?

I never got the InputMask working with a textbox. I inserted an INPUT style
box and set the property 'type' to password which resolved it for me. I did
see some articles with VBScript (or jscript - I forget) that did some of that
but it wasn't close enough to what I needed. Getting rid of the text box and
using the INPUT got me what I needed.
