Help!
I dug this out of the archives but I guess I don't understand
format mask at all for caps. I even looked at the article at FTE but this is
really strange.
Like Bob, I have a four character db edit field that I want to
be in all caps. I placed a '>' in the Format Mask area of the Effects
section.
When I enter the data, it does not show in caps. Furthermore
it turns my entry around. I mean if I type 'aab' it fills in the field 'baa'.
Any clues? Using build 76.30715.

Fabulous. Thanks Razzak.
I don't use too many format masks because I seem to struggle with them.
This is exactly what I was looking for. This probably qualifies as
a "DUH". I should have thought of it....

Bob,
Did you know that you can use ">"
option as "Format Mask"
to achieve the same goal?
If a ">"
character appears in the mask, all characters
that follow are in uppercase
until the end of the mask
or until a "<" character is
encountered.
