Mask Password in InputBox

[khughes46]

I am using the following code to protect and open a form, it works fine. However, when the user types in the password, it is visible to all. How do I mask the password with asterisks (*)?

[CJ_London]

set the input mask property of the field or control to 'password' (no quotes)

I do not know where to find the input mask property of the field or control. Where is it to be found?

[CJ_London]

in table design for field, click on the field and you'll find it on the general tab at the bottom

for controls, in form/report design click on the control and if not already open, choose properties button on the ribbon to open properties (or right click on the control and select properties) and you'll find it under the data tab

I have my form open in design view, the code I am using is in the On Open event and I don't see any control under the data tab on the property sheet. What am I missing?

I never mentioned code - see image - select your control, open the property sheet click on the data tab
