 WH> Does anyone know how to set up data entry fields so that the data

 WH> To explain, instead of having the person shift on capitalization, I

 WH> My memory fails me as to what the exact term is that I want done, but
 WH> I was able to do this with Alpha 4.
In the MS Access 2.0 Solutions database there is a function in the module
proper there is a couple of functions which should suit your needs.
To check this out, open the soultions.mdb file which is in the sampapps
directory which hangs off the main Access 2 directoty. Choose the third
category "Working with forms and controls", then choose the first example
and choose OK.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Peter.
