Thanks, Marc.

I know I'm missing something incredibly obvious but I've tried a few variations without success:

private void cboxDiag1_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
     Char.ToUpper(e.KeyChar);
}
 and

private void cboxDiag1_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
   char myChar = e.KeyChar;
   Char.ToUpper( myChar );
   e.KeyChar = myChar;
}

But no success...

Could you please steer me in the right directior?

Thanks!

John F.
