We want to clean up a database where all records should have been entered as uppercase.  Many were entered as lower case and others were entered with mixed case.  I can't find a formula or filter that will help me locate records in this state.
 
Thanks for any help you can provide.

There is a round about way, but is should work.  This is just an example since I do not know what the field name is or what you want to do with the results.

if strcmp(toupper({field_in_question}),{field_in_question},0) <> 0 then Problem
else Good

I tried putting this into a formula definition but Crystal didn't like the toupper.  Is this a parameter or subfunction or something I need to define?

Opps, too many languages over the years.  Try UpperCase or UCase.  It is a function.
