Date Field Code - Capital Letters

[LittleAnn]

I have a simple question, but for some reason it just not working for me.

For the Date Field code, is it possible to have the month all in Capital
letters???

I have the field code {DATE \@ "MMMM yyyy" \* Mergeformat}, which is fine
and gives me August 2009, but I need to add a switch that will make August
through out the fields all in CAPITAL letters, I have tried adding \* Caps
and \* Uppercase at the end of the code but it just not working?? Any
ideas???

\*Caps capitalises the first letter
\*Uppercase you have made up
\*Mergeformat is redundant

what you need is { DATE \@ "MMMM yyyy" \*Upper}

You're so close! Use the switch \* Upper instead.

The \* Caps switch affects only the first letter of each word, but the
month name is already in that format. The \* Uppercase switch isn't
recognized as valid.

Thanks for that I knew I was doing something wrong.

Thanks a million.

Yes thanks Jay, I think I was in UPPERCASE mode thats why I mistakenly put in
CASE at the end, I was going mad wondering why something so simple would not
work as I had used the switch before in other documents it was only when
Graham pointed out to me I relised I had typed it up wrong.

Thanks a million for the help!!
