RE: Case Insensitive Lookup

You could access your file using an OPNQRYF and use the TRANSLATE
function to convert everything to upper for the comparison

                Subject:        Case Insensitive Lookup

                I'm trying to provide a case insensitive lookup for a
database key field
                containing both upper and lower case.  The user, by
typing:

                FLINTSTONE, FRED

                should be positioned to:

                Flintstone, Fred
                Flintstone, Wilma
                etc.

                Using the normal collating sequence, this would position
beyond all of the F's. 
                How can this be done without changing the actual data to
upper case or creating
                an additional field containing the upper case version.

                There must be a simple way to do this...

                Thanks for any help you can provide!

                Glenn
