Is it possible to show the standard Windows password character 25CF ? instead of the star character *?

Yes, should work with declares.

I think the .Net framework should be present on the clients machine to use that… not sure about that.

I think since Windows 7 .net 4 or so is part of the OS or will be installed with a Service Pack by standard. Not sure here.

Maybe you can use this trick, where the actual input goes to a window scope string property (pass), while the user sees a chain of &u25CF. Place this in a TextField KeyDown event :

Function KeyDown(Key As String) As Boolean if asc(Key)>33 then pass = pass+Key Me.Text = Me.Text+&u25CF Me.SelStart = len(Me.Text) else if Key = chr(8) then pass = left(pass,len(pass)-1) Me.Text = left(Me.Text,len(Me.Text)-1) end if end if Return True End Function
