Uppercase 1st Letter
How do I format a field so that the first letter is always capitilized. I
know to use the greater then sign to display text as all caps, but I just want to make sure the first letter in a customers first/last name is capitilized. |

Are you sure you need to do that in the table? A more common approach would be to use the UCase() function in a query, and use the query results for display.

Jeff:
Wouldn't StrConv([CustomerName],3) be better than the UCase() function? With names I think I would convert the stored data itself, but with a means of overriding it to take account of names like Vincent van Gogh and Fiona MacDonald (who happens to be my wife; it would take a braver man than me to reduce her 'D' to lower case!).

Uppercase 1st Letter
I couldn't tell from the description if this is being used on a single field
containing [FullName] or on a more atomic field containing [LastName]. My suggestion applied to the single field, single fact scenario. .... and I'd never suggest that you or your wife attempt to lowercase her "D" .... g!
