SendKeys "{CAPSLOCK}", True
if keyAscii >= 97 and KeyAsci <= 122 then
KeyAscii = KeyAscii - 32
endif
This will do one letter at a time...
KeyAscii = KeyAscii - 32
endif

Place the following code in a module:
Private Const ES_UPPERCASE = &H8&
Private Const GWL_STYLE = (-16)
Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
Public Function SetTextBoxUCase(txtX As TextBox) As Long
On Error Resume Next
Dim lStyle As Long
lStyle = GetWindowLong(txtX.hWnd, GWL_STYLE)
lStyle = lStyle Or ES_UPPERCASE
SetTextBoxUCase = SetWindowLong(txtX.hWnd, GWL_STYLE, lStyle)
End Function
Place this code in the form_load-event:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Call SetTextBoxUCase(Text1)
End Sub
Hope this helps,

this solutions easier...
use the UCASE function...
e.g.
--------------------------
In General Declarations Put:
--------------------------
dim text$ as string
--------------------------
on the text1_keypress event put in this code:
--------------------------
text$ = text1.text
text1.text = UCASE(text$)
--------------------------
(assuming your textbox is named text1)
hope this helps...
(UCASE is a standard VB function so it requires no modules or extra code than what you see above)
