Capitalize Last Names in Access Database Field

Hello,

I know this is an excel forum, but I also know many of you are proficient in all things Microsoft Office and was wondering if someone could help with automatically capitalizing all Last Names in an Access Database.

I cannot create another column or field with this information, because I do not know how that would affect the program that is accessing this database. Ideally, I could run a macro, that would captialize all the last names and then closes out of the database.

Perfect - thanks. And I've moved this to our dedicated Access area.

You could create an update query.

In the query itself, create a new field and in that field an expression

NewFieldName: UCase(OldFieldName)

Then change this query to an update query and update the OldFieldName with the NewFieldName
