Input Box (hide characters with astrix)

[Guest]

I am using an Input Box to limit users from opening a certain form once they click on a Command button

I am wondering if there is any way I can hide what the use types. For instance, if the password (the Input string) is made out of 5 characters, it should show in the Input Box like this

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Make the input mask for the control "password" (without the quote marks.

In design view of the form you are working on, right-click the control where
the user will make the entry you wish to hide, and select 'properties' from
the drop-down menu that appears.

Click the 'data' tab of the properties box and find the 'input mask' field.
In the 'input mask' field type PASSWORD. Close the properties box, close
and save your form.

When anyone opens the form and makes an entry in that field, the entry will
display as asterisks.

Thank you, Rick. I will give it a shot although the user is NOT inputing in a control box but in an Input box.
