  Something like :
  
  NewString := STRSUBSTNO('%1%2,
  UPPERCASE(COPYSTR(OldString,1,1)),
  COPYSTR(OldString,2,STRLEN(OldString)-1);
  
  
  Not tested, but ...

  At design time, for a text box, it can be acheived by setting the "Title" property to true.

  Hi just another way, you do not need the COPYSTR for the first Charater or the STRLEN for the rest:
  
  You can just use
  MyText := COPYSTR(MyText,2);
  
  But you do need to test the Length is not zero or one
  
  IF STRLEN(MyText) = 1 THEN
  MyText := UPPERCASE(MyText)
  ELSE
  IF STRLEN(MyText) > 1 THEN
  MYTEXT:=UPPERCASE(MyText[1]) + COPYSTR(MyText,2);
  
  Same result but Different code!
  
  HalMdy example could convert to
  NewString := STRSUBSTNO('%1%2,UPPERCASE(OldString[1]),COPYSTR(OldString,2);
