I have used the TOOLS-AUTOCORRECT and clicked "Capitalize first letter of
sentence". The properties of the field are set to allow autocorrect. When I
type a name EG: smith in lower case, the s of smith does not Capitalize.

Any help would be appreciated
 
Is this an Access question? Is "smith" the first word of a sentence?
 
Yes Duane, this is an Access Question and smith is the first word of the
sentence
Any clues? thanks
 
Interesting. I just tested this and once I have a period (or other sentence
ending punctuation ? !) then autocorrect starts capitalizing the first word
of any sentences after the FIRST occurence of the period plus space. But it
doesn't work for any text before the first period.
 
Yes John, I get exactly the same. Bug or what? Someone must know the answer
Thanks
 
I would guess it is by design. This is a database and controls don't
normally contain sentences but discrete bits of information. That said, the
idea seems to be don't autocorrect the first word in a sentence until we
know we have a sentence. In a word processor, a sentence is the norm, in a
database a sentence is an exception.

That is all speculation on my part. You could write a bit of VBA to
automatically upper case the first character in the control if it is
important to you.
