Hi,
I am just trying to set the format to capitalise the first letter.
I am using

L???????????

But every time I change fields it changes to

\L??????????

and I can't find why

If you are doing this in a query, you can't do what you are attempting.
Your string looks like an input mask.

You can use a calculated field to display the data the way you desire

Field: UpFirst: UCase(Left([YourField],1)) & Mid([YourField],2)
