How to have all text in a textbox be uppercase

[dylcon]

Hello, I have some text boxes that are used for entering new records where I want the text to be uppercase regardless of what the user is typing.
I have read that you simply insert '>' character into the input mask property, but it is not working. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Put > in the format.

That does not seem to be working. I have tried this before. I have also done this to the field it is bound to and it still does not work. Any ideas why?

This is confusing.

You should be putting the > into the format of the text box you want to have as Upper Case.
OR if it is in a table you can put in in the table format for that field.

Once again, I have inserted that into the format on both the bound field and on the actual form and it is not working still. Just to confirm, it is the Format portion on the Property Sheet, correct?

Yes.
Works for me.

Hmmm well alrighty then

You do understand, don't you, that this is not going to convert to Upper Case until after you exit the Control?

Have you tried this on multiple Fields/Controls, or have you just experimented on one of them, to date?
