many thanks for the above responses.

Incidentally, I did try using the archives before posting but was
unsuccessful.

Sorry; didn't read properly. You can't do this with an InputBox; only a
TextBox.

Hi

please can someone give me the few lines of code required to produce an
inputbox for returning text (for a password) such that each character
entered by the user is shown as an asterisk in the inputbox.

thanks

Tim
