Password Input Mask

Hi,
I have a form with a subform. The form itself has 2 controls, one is a combo box where you select a location and the other is a password field. After I select the location it makes the password field and the subform visible. A field on the subform contains a code so I have a password mask on it and of course, I have a password mask on the password field. The user types in a password to show the code on the subform. Here is where I'm stuck...I want to be able to put the password mask back onto that field, either by re-typing the password or by selecting a new location on the main form, but I'm not sure how to code it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 
Nevermind...I figured it out.

Me!Control.InputMask ="password"

I wasn't putting password in quotes, so of course it thought it was a variable. I wasn't thinking correctly and thought that if I put it in quotes, it would take it as characters and not as the password mask.

It's always something that simple!
