Hi, Delphi string handling is not OO. Try UpperCase(myString). Java is nicely OO in this respect. It is possible to have a string class an Delphi that works in a similar way. Someone has probably written a good one. I even had a crack at mirroring the Python string class in Delphi using interfaces. It worked but Python is sooo much nicer... ahem, I digress. Have a look through the help for the SysUtils unit as it has the builtin string handling procs. HTH,
