>>>Hi,
>>>I have a screen with a password-like field but, after i enter the password(same font as background) , if I highlight the textbox I can see my input. How can I avoid that? Is there any input mask? I work with FP26.

>it is exactly what I did, but if i highlight that textbox I can see it. It is very strange. I am working on converting the text I entered into "*"-s. Any other idea? I think it should be a mask or a a code for that. Thanks.

Vlad,
How about using the "When" and "Valid" code... Have a public variable initiated in your setup, in the WHEN, you move the contents of the keyed data into this variable, wipe out the keyed variable. In the VALID, if the keyed data is empty, you move the public data to the keyed variable!! A crayzee way but in theory this should work. BTW - my password screen is just a password - NOTHING else. It returns the keyed password. If the calling program finds it invalid, a retry is affected until three attempts have passed - then aborts.
