    I think you'd need to change the font of the textbox.

    Try changing the textbox's font to Arial (or another)...different fonts have different characters, interestingly enough :-P

    Re: [RESOLVED] Password Char

    ignore the 0X...what's 9F when converted from hex? That's what 9F is :-)

    9x16 + 15 = the answer :-)

    And the answer you get, I believe, is the chr() code for it too :-P

    If it's Wingdings, I think you want 108 not 159.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
