Default Running Macro

Create a Userform (Name set to "Password" for example) with one text box. In
the text box properties set "PasswordChar" to "*". You may want code to
validate the password which would be in the "TextBox1_Change()" routine.

To invoke the Userform, put this in your existing (or new) code:

Password.show vbmodeless

(Vbmodeless allows a userform to be shown when other userforms are
displayed: remove this if not required).

If you need more help, send w/book with details to:

Remove NOSPAM
