i have a building permit form and I would like to force/format a entry of a parcel ID number to be:

12-1S-23-253A-0001-0010 (with the capital letters)

if entered by the customer in any of these examples: (obviously there could be more)

121s23253a00010010
121S23253a-00010010
12-1s-23-253A-0001-0010

I have text{00-00-00-0000-0000-0000} and this formats with the dashes

But how do I force capital letters

Thanks
mike

You will need to add the necessary scripting to force the input to upper case.

Look at the Scripting Reference included under the Help menu option.

i tried the following script i found in this forum and did not get a syntax error, but it still did not work

TopmostSubform.Page1.Parcel_ID_Number::initialize - (FormCalc, both)
$.rawValue = Upper($.rawValue)

i am also beta testing LiveCycle 10.0 and it does not have help files yet

thanks
mike
