Hi,

I developed and entry form in which Expense_Name is an entry. I want to make the entries of the field value in Initcap.

like if somebody enters annual maintenance
then it comes like Annual Maintenance.

Any clues?

Bye
Ashu

Hi Kishore,

Thanks for the help but it has only three case u can set

1. Upper
2. Mixed
3. Lower

So what I want is not solved from that . My question is make the expense name as Initcap

If I enter 'purchased computer' then it should be like
'Purchaed Computer'

I have no idea about Forms/Reports whatever.
But this can be done easily in database.

scott@9i > select initcap('purchased computer') from dual;

INITCAP('PURCHASED
------------------
Purchased Computer

Use Oracle INITCAP function:

SQL> select initcap ('annual maintenance') from dual;

INITCAP('ANNUALMAI
------------------
Annual Maintenance

SQL>

As you want it in a form, write a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger which would have something like this in it:

:emp.ename := initcap(:emp.ename);

[EDIT] I apologize; it seems to be an exact copy of Mahesh's message, but is not - a colleague took me a few minutes before pressing the "Reply" button.
