Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to mask a column data to show it as a password character such ask "*"

I want to display the username and password table using datagrid control

But the datagrid control shows the password directly instead of masking it. So I want to mask the password field. I am writing the program in VB6.

Can anyone please help me do this.

Its been a long time since I worked on VB6 but I dont think that will be possible as VB6 doesnot allow datagrid customization.
What you can do is, hide the password column and show a fake password column with hard code "****".
When user edits the field, store the value enter in database and again show hard coded "****".
