Are there any visual basic programmers out there who can tell me how to convert lowercase characters input into a text box variant into uppercase. I've tried all the UPPER commands and just get errors.

Didn't have this trouble with the old fashioned basic.

I'll have a go.

PM me your email address so if I fail I'll put you in contact with a man who can (gratis)

Use the UCase() function

for example, if you want to change the text in a textbox called Textbox1 to upper case, use:

Textbox1.Text=UCase(Textbox1.Text)

If you are using Visual Basic .NET, use Textbox1.Text = Textbox1.Text.ToUpper

Hope this helps.

Thanks - that works.

Have you considered technical writing for Microsoft?

I could't find that amongst all the megabytes supplied as part of the Visual Basic Learning Edition.

Or is it me?

Glad to hear you are sorted.

I'd like to know the person who knows all of Excels secrets !
