Hi and a warm welcome for our first member from Andorra!
I need some more information to help you. When you say filter, are you referring to a filter on a dropdown? How are you creating this filter? Are you using an xpath? What's the xpath? Answers to these questions should help. Thanks!

Hi Patrick !
When I say Filter I say that I select a item in a DropDown and based in this item I make a filter for the other fields. The filter in TextBoxes work very well, but when I apply this filter in a ListBox just work if the Case is Upper..and I'am not using any Xpath. Do you know some xpath that make Case upper ??
Thanks Patrick.

Hi again,
So, you are saying that the filter in the textbox based on the dropdown works well but not for listbox... hmmm... are you sure it isn't the other way around? Seems like listbox filters should be pretty straightforward. I am not sure what it means to have a filter in the textbox since there is only the data that the user enters. How do you filter that? Sorry for the confusion and additional questions, but I don't want to just jump to conclusions, so please allow me to understand the problem a little more.
Thanks!

Patrick, is the following...
When I Select a item in a dropdown (of "Computer Name" I click in the button and the change visualization. In the other visualization the before item selected (in the DropDown of "Computer Name")fill a TextBox.
I have filters in TextBoxes and ListBoxes...
The filters in TextBoxes I make in "Define Value"(My infoPath Is in Portuguese, sorry,but,I don't know this field in English...ok?) and there I make all filters based in the TextBox with the "Computer Name" Value.
In my ListBoxes I make the filter in "Data Connection", in "Input" and after I go to "Data Filters", and so I meke the filter based in the same field "Computer Name", but the filter Don't work because the letters of the "Computer Name" are lower case. When the letters are in Upper Case, work very well. Sorry by the bad english...rs.If you don't undestand what I tryed talk to you, just say me a way that make the letters in a text box become UpperCase. Thanks for atention..

Hi again,
OK, this must be simple to do. We'll investigate tonight and get back to you. Please send your solution to [email protected] and we'll look at fixing your xpaths. May require code, but I think xpath should be sufficient. Anyway, send us the form and we'll investigate in 10-20 hours.
