   Hello,   
   Could anyone post some simple code or advise me on how I can display the SSN   
   number like *****7890 in a text box, even thought the user entered   
   1234567890, and the value of the variable would remain the same.   
   Only thing I can think of is, accept the user input load it into a varible,   
   and then just take the last 4 digits of the number and concatenate it to 5   
   *'s and replace the text box variable with that.... I was hoping there was a   
   better way to do this though.   
   Thanks for any help..   
   Please email me benefactr@billsterworld.com   
   Thanks.
