[Tom_Coulman]

I need to insert a password once im in the file, but at the moment it shows what im typing could you please tell me how i can get it to desplay * signs when i type a letter, so instead of showing 'pass' it will show '****'

There are fonts that are

If your are using FIleMaker 6 you don' t need a font you can use the new custom dialog box.

If you are in earlier versions you could use Troi Dialog Plugin.

or if you still want a bullet font you can get one from my web site http://www.oceanwest.net

Or make the text field background the same ass the text colour.

I've used the custom dialog boxes in version six to hide an entry into a custom dialog. However, when the user needs to re-enter the data ... the dialog box remembers the last input! Is there any way of clearing this?

I have a situation where I want users to be be able to lock different layouts by password. However the custom dialog unhelpfully remembers the password allowing anybody to just click ok?

HI, DARREL ! before you excute custom dialog message script , make sure the target field is empty.

and make sure after you enter the value into custom dialog box , make sure you clear that field value.

that way you not going to see any value when you trigger the custom dialog script.

HTH....

Thanks Kyle,

This certainly did the trick! It seems that the Clear field script wasn't working as I thought! I have since used the set field script to clear the field to nothing "" and it works great

Cheers
