Passwords in Access

[Guest]

I have implemented a table and form for password entry for my users. My
question is, how can I make the form display chars like **** when they are
entering their passwords?

Also, all the passwords will be numbers and 4 digits in length.

Use the password input mask.

I hope you don't have any secure data in here. As this structure is not
very secure.

I always recommend using the built-in User-Level security that is part of
Access.

Actually I refreshed all the table links, and that worked.
Access asked for a password for every linked table.
As far a security goes I agree with you, but that choice wasn't mine.

Thanks all

The password is not really to keep people out. It's there so that each user
can only enter hours for himself.
