Hi Joe,

A textBox has a property whereby you can set the character you want to be
displayed in lieu of the real characters. Create a simple userform with a
TextBox or even place a textbox on the worksheet.

Ostensibly, I would like to use InputBox (or the equivalent) to enter a

normally in the clear when typing in the InputBox field.

Is there some way to cause the system to echo "*" or the equivalent for each
character as they are typed?
