stanley Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 TougToug: I don't know that there is a way to do this at all, but of course you can format all of your fields to "Uppercase" (in the Format->Font selection) and everything will APPEAR as though caps-lock is on. You can run into trouble with this, though, as your data is NOT going to be all caps. That, you'd have to do via scripts, or via secondary calculated fields. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 With FMP 7 you might be able to do an auto-enter calculation that sets the field to Upper() if capslock is off. Or something. Not tested, just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 IMO: It is a mistake to use all CAPS in modern databases. All CAPS are hard to read, and worse: if you change your mind later and all your data is in CAPS, it's hard to clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Ender: I agree. I've got a client who thought they wanted all-caps, and is now in the tedious process of having to manually re-enter everything... -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TougToug Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Ok thanks for your tips, i'll have a go I believe our company is writing everything in uppercase on all its document so that's why i've been asked to do so... THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
