input mask for surname and first name

Hi all,
I'm trying to create my table in design view(MS ACCESS 2010). In Field Properties, I click on the ellipse for creating the input mask, the wizard pops up, but I'm only getting samples for zip codes, dates, etc. no name samples. How can I create a mask that is 30 characters long, upper case? Obviously, most last names aren't going to be 30 characters long, but I can't seem to create one properly.

Thanks in advance
Randy

If you put the data entry form into design mode.
eg.On the field that holds the FirstName, on the Event - AfterUpdate, put the code

me.FirstName = UCase(me.firstName)

this will convert the text to Upper Case

- Replace "FirstName" with your field name

Kind Regards

Thx Helen. I finally figured it out - by accident!
