    change field to "password" type

    Access 2003

    Right now I have a DB that collects usernames and passwords.
    Only a couple have access to the DB however even some of those few people shold not be able to read ALL passwords.
    They need to read most to do their job but in a few case they should not see them.

    so I am doing this:

    Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    If Me.Privacy = True Then
    Me.ComputerPassword.Visible = False
    Me.EmailPass.Visible = False
    End If

    End Sub

    it just makes those to fields hidden when the privacy field is checked.



    I would prefer to see the field displayed like a password field is (with *****) when Privacy is true.

    Is this easily doable?
