    It looks like Wingdings font, Chr$(108) (lower case "l").
    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.

    that looks like it but it doesn't show up on vb when i enter it in the passwordchr option in the text box's properties

    the ones from the character map come up as a question mark "?"

    Set the textbox's font to Wingdings and the password character to l (lower case L). It works on mine.
