    Re: Password input masking

    If you're referring to Text Boxes on a userform, there is a property on the Text Box called Password Char, put a character in there and anything you type in the box will be displayed as that character.

    E.g. If you put a * in the Password Char property the text will show up like "*********".

    Use a textbox that has a PasswordChar property and set it to a value of "*" or "x".
