subject: Help with password field using DDS
If have looked and looked for an answer to this and I know someone else
must already have gone down this road.
So I shall post my question.
I need a screen to prompt a user for up to 5 passwords (several
different people may have to enter their passwords before the program
can continue)
(it's for printing checks with signatures)
I do not want the passwords to display and I need to validate the fields
and display message if one or more of the password are not valid.
it appears there is no way to define the field as a password field so
they do not display (or better yet display *********)
If I make the field non-display so the passwords do not display then the
reverse image does not work (actually works but the non-display does not
display the reverse image)
I would like to know how others have handled fields where the user must
enter a password.
Thanks
John
