how can I change input statement to show only stars for password ****
 

When you enter your password in this line, you can see what you are entering, how can you change the following line so it will only show ******** as a password when you are entering your password??


ans = InputBox("Enter your password", "password")

Thank you for all of you help

The builtin inputboxes won't let you do this.

But you could create a small userform and use the .passwordchar property to hide
that input.

ps. This is a text only newsgroup. You may want to refrain from posting in
HTML.

One way you could approach it is to set up a userform with a textbox for
entering the password. Textboxes have a passwordchar property that allows
you to display an "*" instead of the actual text.

How can you use .passwordchar property with this ans = InputBox("Enter your
password", "password") I am fairly new in VB.

Please let me know.
Thank you for you help.

Inputbox won't allow this.

You'll have to make a userform.
