I use dialog variable to create the input box. the codes are :

Dialog.OPEN('Enter the Password #1######',Password);
Dialog.INPUT(1,Password);

but i need to change the input format into PasswordText, like '****'. Can navision do that?
thanks for help

    I never use the .INPUT method. And I recommend to not use it. Better is to create new form or use report request form for that data input. And you will have possibility to do what you want... ;-)

    As kine said, use a form.
    But don't forgett. also when you set the property "PasswordText" the user can still see the password if the field is focusable and he set a fieldfilter (F7) directly on this field. so also create a crypt / decrypt algorothum (like ceaser chiffre or a simple ASCII Change)

    Do you make it right, it works too!

    What would be the reasons for not using .INPUT?
    What problems would it cause?

    E.g. problems with making difference between ESC (cancel) and Enter (OK). Blocking transaction without any message (if you use report or form during transaction, NAV will give you big error about that), not possibility to do anything around (e.g. like you want)... just examles... 8)
