Changing existing data in database to title case
I have a nonprofit database that I am trying to change cities names to title
case instead of all caps. I was sent an empty database that has a an update query that I can run to convert the case in tblCities. I tried to save this database to my hard drive and go through the backdoor privileges to Import the query into bearbase. I have no idea how to do this. The query doesn't even show up. Any help would be appreciated. |

Any help would be appreciated. If the fieldname is City, create a Query based on tblCities; change it to an update query; and put =StrConv([City], 3) on the Update To line under City. Run the query by clicking the ! icon. The SQL would be UPDATE tblCities SET City = StrConv([City], 3); and it's surprising that someone would send you an entire database to do this! -- John W.
