Sorry to butt in, Tim. But wouldn't a VIEW with the appropriate function (upper) applied to the columns solve your problem? Have you looked into using that? It would preserve your existing access queries. And you can always order by the results of a query on a view: the sort applies to the result set, not the original data.

HTH Cheers
