When I import an excel file into access it changes the all the text to capitals even though it was all just Title case before.

Is there a way to maintain the case of data after it imports or too convert it back once its in.

If that makes sense.

Thanks

Checked several options related to the format of the table but cant find anything specific that allows the changing of case.
 
Two quick ways to change the display (provided you don't want to do this to too many fields) is to add a user defined field to your query and reference that field in your report:
Code:
FormattedPersonName: StrConv([PersonName],3)
or, add an unbound text box to your report and set the control source to something like this:
Code:
=StrConv([PersonName],3)

Hoc nomen meum verum non est.
