    Show/Hide txt to password * on a form with a check box

    Hello,


    I have read over many threads trying to find this however, I cannot find anything even close. In any case, is there a way to have a txt box on a form that is a password with the **** format and change that back to txt with a check box. (Show/hide password chkbox. )
    Thanks
    David

    You are using InputMask property to hash the password? Code would have to modify this property, like:

    Forms!Form1.Text42.InputMask = ""

    Hi,
    This is just to test but so far doesn't work on form? IsActive is a checkbox, TxtCity is a text box with imputmask as password!

    Private Sub IsActive_Click()
    If Me.IsActive = 0 Then
    Forms!Frm_City.TxtCity.InputMask = ""
    End Sub

    June7's answer looks correct to me. Just tested and this toggled the setting:

    Code:
    Private Sub Check19_AfterUpdate()
      If Me.Check19 = True Then
        Me.MyText1.InputMask = ""
      Else
        Me.MyText1.InputMask = "Password"
      End If
    End Sub
