    Astrix instead of password characters

    Someone a while back asked if it is possible to hide the characters for a textbox like they do for passwords in most websites. The answer that was given no that it is not possible. Then I came across this example that does just that. I removed all the vba code, except the show userform code, and all other objects so obviously it's a property of the textbox but I can't seem to isolate it. Does anyone know which property it is?

    It is here,
    Check the jpeg, Enter what character you want to show in the box and it will show that. Put a question mark and it will show question marks.

    Cheers

    Edit: This obviously the property window if you could not read the Japanese text. Sorry bout that.

    The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...
