Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] PASSWORD ISSUE

I've got no idea what application you're talking about or what you're running on your computer, so take this with a grain of salt. Typically, when you enter an edit field for the first time, everything is highlighted. Once you start typing, the text that was there is replaced by what you're typing. therefore, you don't need to delete the stars before you start typing. If you do anything in the edit field before you start typing, such as using the arrow keys or the home or end keys then you'll be inserting text, so you'll want to delete the old password before you start typing. I hope this helps.
