I am new to Crystal Reports and have managed to put together my report for invoicing.
However, what I assumed would be the easy bit is proving a little annoying now. I need the data that comes out on my invoices to only have a capital letter at the start of the sentence but all I can get is all capitals or all lower case.
This is probably a very simple thing for most of the people on this forum but as I said I am new to Crystal Reports.
Many, many thanks in advance.

For a word it is simple.  For a sentence.  It could be a lot tougher.  If it is a single sentence then UpperCase(Left({somestring}, 1))+lowercase(mid({Somestring},2)).  But this assumes there will be no proper names, the letter 'I', etc.  If you want to change a paragraph. Then you would have to parse the paragraph with a loop.
