    Can I hide the text in a field with Stars?

    Hello Everyone.  I have a password field that is attached to a database.  I need to hide the contents and I was wondering if I could do it with stars or something like on a normal password input field.  Is that possible?  I've already tried making the text white but when you highlight it the text shows up in blue.  What can I do?

     Thank you

    Hello:

    This post from the InfoPath Team blog suggests using a symbol font to mimic this: http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2005/01/11/350740.aspx as well as explaining why there is not a password control in InfoPath.

    I just talked to my boss and he does not like the wingdings idea.  Is there a way to custom code a password field using the VSTA?  I mean, in VB all I have to do is go to properties and set the password character.  There has to be something I can do, right?
