Using a text box to enter in a password.

[EAB1977]

Hello everyone,

I have created a login form for our users to enter their user ID and
password into two text boxes. The first text box, the users enter in
their employee ID, which is alpha-numeric, and the second text box is
where the user enters in their password, using the input mask of
astericks (*).

I am seeing odd behavior in the password section of my form. If a user
has a passowrd called "MYpassword", any leading capitals will be
converted to lowercase and will read "Mypassword". We have had our
users choose another password without any leading capital letters
after the first letter, which is a workaround.

Any ideas? Is this a Access bug?

I'm unable to reproduce your problem: the data comes across exactly as
entered for me.

What's the code you've current got to handle the password.

Check your setting in Tools - Autocorrect

The checkbox for "correct Two Initial Capitals" is probably selected; turning
it off should solve your problem.

That worked. Thanks John.

I assume that this will need to be set on all computers that have the
runtime Access versions installed?
