i’m really in need of someone smarter than me for help.
i have been searching everywhere but nothing is working.
i am learning base, and making a simple customer table.
i want to have the first name and last name fields auto capitalize the first letter.
“turn on autocapitalization in the autocorrect options”
it is on but does nothing
“put Ax in the “masked field” control”
there is no masked field control
“Put “X” in the input validation field”
there is no input validation field i can find

i have clicked every menu, looked in every sub menu available, activated every optional menu in the customize dialog. these things i’m being told to do i can not find anywhere in the program with the exception of the auto capitaslize option which isn’t doing anything.

i’m totally lost and need help, does anyone know what i’m missing?

“put Ax in the “masked field” control”

It is named “Pattern Field”. But it won’t help, because the field is defined not only by upper character and lower character. The mask will also define the length of the string. So all names will get the same length…
.
Autocapitalization will work in text content of Writer, but won’t work in fields of a form. You couldn’t choose this for the font inside a control.
.
“Input validation” might be the same as “Pattern Field”.
.
So there are no possibilities in GUI, which are working for this task.
You could write a macro to change the content with first character upper cased. This text would be saved in the table.
You could also write a query, which will show the first letter upper cased. This will only be shown when query will be executed.
