Is there a way to have Filemaker (9 Adv) actually convert the data to
Title Case? So that the raw data are changed! - not only Field format...

Thx in advance!

Set the field to autoenter TitleCase(self) [i forget the exact
function name] and check the box that lets it overwrite if data is
there.

This results in anything being typed into the field triggering the
autoenter, which overwrites its contents with the calculation.

This technique is also used to format phone numbers, and other
formatted data, while letting users type whatever they want into the
field. (note the autoenter doesn't get triggered until you exit the
field; it doesn't update as you type.)
