Running Macro
 

am not that familar with VB in Excel, though I could manage to write/copy
the code for running the macro when we give a password in the MSG Box. Here
what like to know is How to make the charaters not to be displayed instead it
should display ****** as usual practice for passwords. I do got some
suggesttions like to user and a text box with th e text box property set to
*, but I like to know how to link the user form to the existing module or new
code for the user form.
Thanks in advance for immediate help.

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:

You need a userform with a textbox as suggested, and a password char
property.

Create a public variable in the existing module, and return the password to
that variable in the TextBox1_AfterUpdate event.
