I have a table that validates users when signing into my VB front end. two fields...UserName and Password..My question is, is it possible when looking into my table the password displays characters instead of showing me the password. I really donot want to see everyones password.

Thanks in advance
 
No, you must encrypt the password on the client end and store the password already encrypted in the DB. Sql server does not allow you to "encrypt" certain fields, etc..
