Password entry concealed ***
I have already created a workbook with VBA to accept the user's password
using InputBox. The rub is that other users can see that user's password as he enters it. I need the password to be concealed as asterisks '*.' I researched this newsgroup and it looks like the way to go is to use a textbox and set the PasswordChar property to '*.' Can anyone share some VBA code to display the textbox and and then assign the user's password after he enters it to variable 'pw' that I have declared in the routine? Thanks. |

Wow! That's all I can say. Worked right away. I especially appreciate your
tip in the other referenced thread that made "implementing" the code so easy. Thank you!
