I've created a form that comes up when my main form is terminated
which requires a password to be entered until the forms are shut down.

There is probaby a better way of doing this as I did, but it works. My
only problem is that although I have changed the text colour in the
textbox to white (so people cannot see what is being typed (white on
white)) it is still possible to copy and paste the white text into
another program to change the colour so it can be read) Is it possible
to actually encrypt the text so they are just "*******"?

Cheers...

Is this a userform (created in the VBE)?

If yes, then select the textbox, and hit F4 to see its properties.

Change the .passwordchar property to an asterisk.

Oops didn't even see that bit!
