mask employee number in text box

I have an unbound txt control on a form to ask user to type employee number.
After that, I'll use that number to retrieve reports.

On AfterUpdate event of that unbound control, how can I mask the employee
number to ****** and still can refer to it?

Thanks.

Private Sub txtEmployeeNumber_LostFocus()
Me!txtEmployeeNumber.InputMask = "Password"
End Sub

Set Input Mask to Password.
