    setting password via inputbox

    I want a user to specify a password using an inputbox.

    Is there anyway of masking the input with another character when the user begins to enter a character string?

    Or is there another (simple) way of doing this?


    Thanks

    You cant do it with an inputbox. You'd need to make a custom userform.

    Yes you can do it but its very complicated. Luckily, my buddy Aaron Young has a CodeBank code example on how to do it.

    Hi!!!!

    Is your input box application designed for VB 6.0 or for Office VBA (Access, Word, Excel) application?

    Its not mine but its for VB6 but is mostly compatible with VBA if you place it in a standard Module. There really is no diifference in that code though.
