I need to be able to have users log on with their company user name and passwords to a training module. I need to know how to get "*" to show in the password field.

On down the line, I am going to want to see if there is a way to get Opus to treat these as real passwords. That is, pass them to the company database, validate, and return either go or no go. This will also be used to track their training and record successful completions. Our IT department will be able to help with that, though some DW input will likely be required as well.

Right now, however, I'd just like to get all keystrokes to return "*" to the password box.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Dave

Text input box has an Input Type of Password. If you click on that radio button the entry will be asterisked like a normal password entry field. If you check out the Tutorials section, I think there's probably something there that might help you with your second part.

Excellent. Thanks Brian. I LOVE simple.

BTW, did you get the message I sent through your website? Just curious...
