Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.


SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0, you are not able to retype the password in a text box that has been set with a password input mask if the Move After Enter option on the Keyboard tab of the Options dialog box has been set to Don't Move.

If you try to retype the password, the field locks, and you are unable to move from the text box.

This behavior does not occur in Microsoft Access 97. In Microsoft Access 97, you are able to retype in the text box over and over again.
