   'Check to see if there is any entry made to input box, or if
   'cancel button is pressed. If no entry made then exit sub.

   If strPasswd = "" Or strPasswd = Empty Then
       MsgBox "No Password Provided", vbInformation, "Password Required"

If your field is bound in a table, you can type the Input mask property of the field the text "Password" on it (without a quote).

If the field is unbound, in the input mask on the data tab of the field property, type "Password" on it (without a quote).

i got how the Ucase would work in my code

Private Sub START_TIME_GotFocus()
Dim strPasswd

   [b]strPasswd = UCase(InputBox("Please Enter Admin Password", "Start Time is Restricted"))[/b]

   'Check to see if there is any entry made to input box, or if
   'cancel button is pressed. If no entry made then exit sub.

   If strPasswd = "" Or strPasswd = Empty Then
       MsgBox "No Password Provided", vbInformation, "Password Required"
       Exit Sub
   End If

   'If correct password is entered unlock Start_Time
   'If incorrect password entered give message and exit sub

   If strPasswd = "JAX" Then
       Me.START_TIME.Locked = False
   Else
       MsgBox "Sorry, you do not have access to the start time", vbOKOnly, "Password Incorrect!"
       Exit Sub
   End If
End Sub
