Hello: In Crystal 8.5 I need to

[TaTips]

Hello:

In Crystal 8.5 I need to make sure that the user enters an Uppercase value into a {?P} Parameter field. Is this possible using the "Edit Mask" properties or something ?

Thanks,
Nick.

Yes, go to edit parameter field->set default values->edit mask and enter:

>CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

...using as many "C's" as necessary to fill the box.

The edit mask is the best way to do this, but you can also write a record selection formula like this:

Uppercase({?MyParmField})={DatabaseField}

Thanks for your replies. However I cannot get the 'CCCC..' format mask to work. The Param still accepts lower case entries.

You need the greater than sign also, check LB's post, it started with >

Place all of the following in there:

>CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
