If you save the following as first_upper.prg in your working directory function first_upper(cStr) cStr = upper(substr(cStr,1,1))+substr(cStr,2) return cStr you can use x = 'i live in a condo.' ? first_upper(x) You should actually have a separate folder for all you own functions, say, C:\My_Functions with a User BDE Alias My_Functions So, if first_upper.prg isn't in your working directory you would need to use set procedure to :My_Functions:first_upper.prg to make the function available to your program.
