Account name to uppercase Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hello,

I would like to automatically set all characters to uppercase when creating a new account - is this possible?
Or perhaps. there's reason that this is a bad idea..

Many thanks for any input,

Mike

I can't think of any reason at all why you'd want to do this

There is a field that will store the account name in uppercase already (called ACCOUNT_UC on the ACCOUNT table).

Otherwise, you could just add some code on the exit event of the account name control that did something like (assuming the control is named txtAccount)

txtAccount.Text = UCase(txtAccount.Text)

As far as changing all accounts in the system to show an upper case name you'd need to execute something like the following:

update account set account = upper(account)

But then the account name value is stored in several other places as well, you'd need to update those too. Some of the tables that have an ACCOUNT field that come to mind off top of my head are ACCOUNTSUMMARY, CONTACT, HISTORY, ACTIVITY, OPPORTUNITY, ...probably more.

But as I said, I'm confused why anyone would want to do something like this

ACCOUNT_UC is exactly what I was looking for.
I use Scribe in a planified task to export accounts to another system, and I need the account name in uppercase.

Thanks a bunch!

Mike
