Hello!
When I export a data record with a first name field (custom format Inital Caps) i GET  the first name small written!

Why?

Thank you for the help.

Hello Amor,

The Display format just controls how the data is displayed in that particular element on the form, it does not change the underlying data that is stored in the field. If you are wanting the data to be stored in Initial caps, you will want to use programming to force the data to be Initial Caps.

Thank you Ray.

I set this subroutine on the element exit:

Subroutine InitCaps()
ThisElement = ToUpper(@Lt(ThisElement,1)) + @Mid(ThisElement,2,@Len(ThisElement)-1)
End Subroutine

Hello Amor,

That should work for you, just be sure to call the InitCaps() subroutine also in On element Exit as well. Also you may want to use On Element Change instead of On Element Exit.
