Hi,
I have an entryfield... when I enter a value (letter-characters) I would
like to see everything in uppercase, so no lower case allowed.
How can I do this?
Thanks
JP

Code the control's AfterUpdate event:
[ControlName] = UCase([ControlName])

Enter the data normally. When you exit the control it will change to
Upper Case.
 
I would like to get the characters in upper case while I type them... is
that possible?

Using Fred's code will ensure the data is stored in uppercase.

To show Uppercase when entering data set the FORMAT property of your
entryfield to >

after a lowercase letter is entered.

In the KeyPress event...

KeyAscii = Asc(UCase(Char(KeyAscii)))
 
Hi, thanks for the reply
Whe I try to use you code I get an errormessage saying:

compiling error
sub or function not defined

in the code
KeyAscii = Asc(UCase(Char(KeyAscii)))

Char is highlighted in blue

What to do?
Thanks
