# EditPassword

Inserts a text edit control into the spreadsheet. For security, the text string that is entered will always be displayed as asterisks. The EditPassword control works like other interactive text input boxes.

Note:

- To access the property sheet for an EditPassword control, once the function has been inserted into the spreadsheet, right-click the control and select Edit Function.
- The text string is case-sensitive.
- The number of asterisks displayed equals the value specified for the Max String Length parameter.
