Hi David,
Do you mean "caps lock" on shiftkey ?
I don't see a caps lock on my iOS keyboard
Best regards

Hi David

you know that this is the "Databases" forum? 8)
Will move this thread to the "iOS" forum.

I don't know of any way to control the shift lock but it's easy to post-process the text entry to make the text all caps with the toUpper() function.

Jacque,

I am already using the toUpper() that Klaus helped me with and that does the job, but the user doesn't know that its going to be capitalized, until after they see it. I thought it would just make a little friendlier experience. It's not a big deal.

Thanks,

David

David...

You can control the 'caps'... by setting the 'autoCapitalization' of a native field, not a liveCode field.
