I have a physical file with a name field containing mixed case 
letters.  I would like to use the name as a key field.  On my 
programs I always provide an input field to position the list.  
User's have a difficult time getting the name keyed in the exact 
upper/lower case to position the list correctly.  What are some ways 
to design a logical file or the application to ignore the case and 
position the list correctly.

Thanks in advance....
