Upper Case Conversion

What is the syntax for an update query to convert something to upper case, i.e., convert br4579215 to BR4579215? I've tried Update To: >Left([fieldname],2), but it doesn't like the >, even though that is the correct symbol for upper case.

Thanks!
 
Hi JJMan,

UCase(Mid([fieldname],3)

should be what you're looking for.

OOoops, forgot a closing bracket:
UCase(Mid([fieldname],3))
 
You could just use UCASE(field) - its not going to convert your numbers. No need to parse it out.
