I am currently designing a database for a college project, and I have to create a password field. I HAVE to do this project in Excel, as it is part of the course to do Application Software Development, so please dont say "Use Access"! I need to create a password field, and currently the only way of not being able to see the password is by setting the text colour in the form to white, which fails miserably becuase when highlighted, you can see it! So is there any way of creating a standard windows password field, or some code that will turn the characters into ****, as I am stumped as what to do now, its only a minor detail, but it would be useful if I knew how!

Thanks in advance
