Re: making lower case then first char to upper case?

AW: making lower case then first char to upper case?
Aaron, How about something like : SELECT CONCAT(UCASE(LEFT(FieldName, 1)), LCASE(RIGHT(FieldName,LENGTH(FieldName)-1))) Right out of my head, I didn't count all the parantheses :-) Freddie -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Aaron Wolski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 30.
