about password

Please Help

In my application I need the user to type their password everytime they
perform a certain task. I am using the inputbox function for this but anyone
looking over their shoulder can read their password as they type. Is their a
way I can cause a * to show instead of the actual letters?

Thanks in advance.

Try setting the PasswordChar property.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. TextBox.PasswordChar = "*"

Instead of using a Inputbox ,accept the password through a textbox and set the password character property to "*".

It is not possible in a inputbox.
