u can use them inside the insert query like:
you should call this template as an include file like:
<cfinclude template="upperFirst.cfm">
then
INSERT INTO.......
Values
(<cfif Form.Firstname NEQ "">
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
That's ALL you have to do

<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
That's ALL you have to do
this should <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
be as
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"

Hi again.
You have answered my question.I have a little problem now because i'm not using the english language and characters but the greek one.
The function i need is the nameCase function but that is changing the last letter in my string.
I can't write it down because none english characters can not be displayed.Have you any idea to solve this?

well i do not know but i think if u website is in greek language, then u need the find the equivalent of
([[:upper:]])([[:upper:]]*
in greek language..
like u can use google:
([[: ¿¿¿ :]])([[: ¿¿¿ :]]*)"," \ 1 \ L \ 2 \ ¿ "
i am not sure but it may work!
here is the link that i tried
http://translate.google.co.in/translate_t?hl=&ie=UTF-8&text=([[:upper:]])([[:upper:]]*)

No this is not solving the problem.Using the new code i get all uppercase.
This is the case where one problem is solved and the next one comes and again i stuck.
I will accept the first answer and make a new question for the new peoblem.
Thank you
