Greetings!
I have a table where names are stored in mixed case. I also have a lookup form where the user can type in a name for which to search, this in turn drives a query that populates a result form. In order to eliminate case from the equation, I'd like to convert everything to uppercase during the search. I know the UCASE function acts on a variable, but is there a SQL function that works in a similar fashion? I'm trying to build a SQL statement like the following:
The "upper" function is something I recall from my Oracle days, and it doesn't work in Access. I can't use UCASE in place of upper since it doesn't appear to be valid SQL either.
Any ideas appreciated.

mySQL = "select * from tbl_names where upper(last_name) = '" & UCASE(UserEnteredName) & "'"Any ideas appreciated.
