Passwords

[AccessXP]

I would like to know how to hide the password by using the * and not seeing the password.

Any help please?

Go to the properties of that field and change input mask to password*. It's that simple.:-D

This may help you understand what is happening,

The code:
Private Sub Command32_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command32_Click

Dim PWD As String

PWD = DLookup("password", "UsysPassword ")

If PWD <> InputBox("Enter Password") Then
MsgBox "You have entered the wrong password, The program will now EXIT!"
DoCmd.Quit

where do I change the properties for this windows?

The inputbox function does not have the capability to use the password input mask. I would recommend creating a custom form to input the password so you can use the password input mask in the textbox where you are entering the password.

HTH,
