In my table, how do I convert text from upper case to lower case.

 
try this....

1.create a new query using the table where the field resides you need updating
2.make the query an update query (from the main menu, go to Query - Update Query)
3.select the field you need to update

in the Update To: section enter the following...

LCase([YourFieldName])

Note, the fieldname will be the same as the field you
selected in Step3.

You could also do this using SQL.

UPDATE TableName SET TableName.YourFieldName = LCase([YourFieldName])

I personally like the first method, but it's up to you what you need to use.

hope this helps.
