I am trying to make capital letters in my entry text box.

I do not put it take the capital string, could any one help me on this?

Many thanks in advance.

If you want the entry to be converted to all Upper Case, do this. Using the After Update event of the txtbox you are using place the following code:

Private Sub txtYourTextBox_AfterUpdate()
Me.ActiveControl = UCase(Me.ActiveControl)
End Sub

Change "txtYourTextBox" the the name of you control.

This will convert the entry to Upper Case no matter how it's entered.

I think the BeforeUpdate event is what Rick ment.

Pat, I have always done this using the After Update event of the control, so I said "what the heck, I'll try it Pat's way" but I can't get it to work with the Before Update event of the control.

How come when I use the ">" symbol in the format section of a field's properties to capitalize all the text, this limits the number of characters I can type into the field?

Thank you for the tip Mr Hicks. It is working with your code.
Many Thanks again.

Sorry Rick, I read your answer too quickly. I thought you said the AfterUpdate event of the form. The AfterUpdate event of the control is fine.
