Masks

I have set up a mask in database desktop for a postcode field which shoule
convert all the chars to upper case. The mask is simply "!*". It works fine
in the sample field in database desktop but Delphi just ignores it.

Using BDE4.51.

TIA

You are confusing Pictures an Masks. They are not the same. What works for a
Picture in the database desktop will not work for a Mask.
There are some third party components that support Paradox style Pictures.
I use the ones form InforPower.
