Make Uppercase in User Defined Field

If you have Provision and the field is not attached to some write trigger,
you could create a simple procedure to go through all the Part Master
records and convert the field to all caps. I don't think you can force a
user defined field, but you could save and run your procedure once a night
and correct any that have been entered for that day to all CAPS. If it was
a VBForm field, you could attach a procedure to the OK button to convert the
VBForm field to caps.

Subject: [Vantage] Make Uppercase in User Defined Field


We have a user defined field on our Part Master which is used for the
Customer ID of the primary customer for the part. The secretary that has
been entering them on parts all day neglected to turn the caps lock on. Is
there any way, such as in Word with Ctrl-Shift-A, to convert selected text
to all caps? It would really save her a ton of time re-entering them to
just pull up the UD screen and upcase them (it's in 1st field on form).
Also, any way to force user defined field data to be all caps on entry?

Thanks,

Todd,

I don't have a solution for your problem, I just wanted to inject this: we
use the SearchWord field in the part master for the CustID of the primary
customer. Makes it very easy to find all (assuming they were in fact entered
correctly) the parts for a Customer. I have created customer buy lists by
linking the CustID in Customer to SearchWord in Part -- very slick.

Todd,

I don't know how many records you are talking about but I would do the
following if we are talking about 100's or more.

Write a quick crystal report to pull that field. Have crystal convert the
field to all caps. Export the all caps field to a text file through
crystal. Use a macro program to re-enter the capped version back in. It's
a little hokey but it would work.
