Hi,
I have a text box on a form. When anyone types into it, it changes what they have typed into proper case. Is there any way I can stop this? The data that they are entering does not lend itself to proper case.
There is no vba attached to the text box so the text box is definitely doing this by default.
I am using Access 2010.

Cheers,
Foxy
 
Open the table and look at the design in the field in the properties and the format you can use the < symbol to ensure everything stays in lower case, if this is based on a form also do the same in the field property and format.
 
Thanks very much for that, but sorry, I should have explained more, this is an Unbound text box. I also don't want everything to be in Lower case, I want it to remain as the user types it. How do I take the automatic proper case of of an unbound text box? Which property is it?
Cheers,
Foxy
 
Can you upload a sample of the form in another database so I can take a look.
 
There must be something in VBA or more likely in the Properties that set the defauly to proper case.

Find it and delete it.
 
That's an idea what happens if you replace the textbox with another one? if you are using the textbox and named it then delete and rename a new one, to see if that removes the issue. Test the new one before renaming it though. Then if you use it once you rename it and it does it again then there is some VBA that is doing something in the background.
 
Go to Access Options
Proofing
Autocorrect Options
Make sure everything is unchecked
