Password Field

[Janis in Minnesota]

Hello all!
I have a pop-up modal form that appears at login and the employee enters
his/her name and password. I have the password formatted so when they enter
their password each character in the password appears as an asterix.
Once in the database, in the Employee Maintenance form, the field that
stores this password is displayed. Can I mask this as well so it is not
readable?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Janis

As far as I know, not out of the box...

I use a VBA-routine that encrypts the password (with a randomly chosen
number) and stores the encrypted value and the seed in the database.
When the use enters the password, the saved password is decrypted and
compared to the entered value.
While this is absolutely not secure for real 'hackers', it does what
it's intended to do: you can't view any passwords by looking at the
table.
