Now,
I have a big table with sales data downloaded from DB2.
We have branches codes of 1 digit only.
Because of too many branches we have branch codes in upercase and lowercase. So Q ans q are different branches.
I'd like to substitute all lowercase codes like q with something like q_ to make them searchable.
How I can substitute all lowercase letters in one column of the large table in one shot?
Or may be you know any solution how to make Access queries sensitive to the case.
I've been stumped on this and could use some help...

I would like to change this to: CHLOROSULFONIC ACID
Is it possible to search a field for a Lowercase letter.All data should be capital, but occasionally a user may ann a record in lowercase, and was looking for a query to pull back all records in lowercase

Hello, I am a new member...thanks for any help anyone can provide. I have a table with a column in which the fields will come in with various lengths and combinations of characters. I need to look up certain values from this field, and assign a value to another field based on that. For example if field1 begins with an "H*", then field2 will equal "INS".
My problem is that I need to write a statement saying something like if field1 starts with "H" and is followed by only numbers for any length, then assign field2 "blank"
so I cant use "H*" because that includes letters...and Ive tried criteria like "H[!a-z]*" but cant get anything to work(i know the last example only looks at the space after H) Does anyone have any ideas?
