You can issue:
CAPSLOCK(.F.) to set the caps off. Then, in your textbox set "format" property to R and set "inputmask" property to !xxxxxxxxx. Or, [and also] assure PROPER() when the value is written to file. Users sometimes don't look at the stuff they type in, so an interactive proper-nouning may fall on unseeing eyes:-)
