I am setting up a table of users for a database. The client wants to specify some usernames that begin with two capital letters. I cannot enter this as Access changes the second character of the one-word username to lowercase - as if it is trying to enforce "proper" case! The username field's data type is "short text." The table design has no formatting or input mask set for this field. I tried entering the username as the client specified in an open table in the datasheet view and on a form. I encountered the problem in both places. Is this a regular part of Access I've never experienced, or is there something obvious I'm missing here? I feel foolish not understanding this simple data entry aspect, but here I am.
