Password Inputmask on an Inputbox

[Centauri117]

I wrote some code to password protect a button on my database that locks/unlocks textboxes. What I want to happen now is that when a person types in the password, I'd like to have the password type in asteriks(*) instead of displaying what their password is. It is easy to do on a textbox but an inputbox is giving me trouble because I can't figure out the visual basic code behind it. I would think it would go somewhere in this line of my existing code but nothing I do with it will work:

Password = InputBox("Please Enter Password", "Password", Password)

If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Don't think this can be done with InputBox. You need to create a small form with a password-masked text box for data entry and a couple of command buttons (OK and Cancel). With this approach, you can mimic the InputBox but allow the password to be asterisked out.
