Input Box help

I have an inputbox that comes up from code:

strCode = InputBox("Enter the override code.", "Override Code")

It is for an override of a transaction that only a few selected people know the override code for. I need the input to appear as *'s when the code is typed into the box. Is there anyway to have the input appear as that with an inputbox from code? If not, I guess I can always use a form for the code to be input to.

I would rather use the inputbox from code as possible, it is much cleaner.

Thanks for your help.
 
Hi!

Sorry, you can't format an InputBox to show just *'s. You must do this on a form.

sorry!

You would have to create your own input box on a form with a text box control. The textbox control has a property that you set to make it return the * in place of the info being typed.
 
Thanks, I was affrais that I would have to use a form. Oh well it was worth a try.
