Solved Numbers & UpperCase

[A17BPG]

Hi Everybody I am trying to enter a line of code that allows me to input the house number in a text box followed by the street name, but want the first character of street name to be in UpperCase. Has anyone any suggestions on coding I can use.

Thanks Brian (A17BPG)

Investigate using the proper function

proper (“hello”)

will return “Hello”

but want the first character of street name to be in UpperCase

Try the code below:

Dim sVal$
    sVal = "I am trying to enter a line of code that allows me to input the house number in a text box followed by the street name"
    
    sVal = StrConv(sVal, vbUpperCase)
    Debug.Print sVal
    
    sVal = StrConv(sVal, vbLowerCase)
    Debug.Print sVal
    
    sVal = StrConv(sVal, vbProperCase) 'That one
    Debug.Print sVal

It will print text in Immediate Window (Ctrl+G):

ah yeah - forgot I use a function called 'proper' - which uses strConv

try this in the control AfterUpdate event:

With Me.ActiveControl
   If IsNull(.Value) Then
      Exit Sub
   Else
      .Value = StrConv(.Value,vbProperCase)
   End If
End With

it won't change anything until they're done editing the value

Hi Thanks for reply's I have tried the "ProperCase" Command with the result (Compile Error - Sub or Function not Defined).
The code using :

Private Sub txtAddress1_AfterUpdate()

Me.txtAddress1 = propercase(txtAddress1, 1)

End Sub

Thanks Brian (a17BPG)

Hi thanks for code work great.

try this in the control AfterUpdate event:
Rich (BB code):

[COLOR=Blue]With[/COLOR] Me.ActiveControl
   [COLOR=Blue]If[/COLOR] IsNull(.Value) [COLOR=Blue]Then[/COLOR]
      [COLOR=Blue]Exit Sub[/COLOR]
   [COLOR=Blue]Else[/COLOR]
      .Value = StrConv(.Value,vbProperCase)
   [COLOR=Blue]End If
End With[/COLOR]

Shorter way:

Private Sub ControlName_AfterUpdate
         Me.ControlName = StrConv(Me.ControlName & "", vbProperCase)
End Sub

only problem with that is it will populate the field with a zls whereas with the other solution, nulls will stay as nulls

Hi thanks for code work great.

Thanks again Brian (A17BPG)

you're welcome, Brian ~ happy to help

btw, if you use StrConv in a query, the query doesn't understand the vbProperCase constant so you have to use its value, 3

in a query:

CalculatedFieldname: StrConv( [fieldname], 3)
