In any give field, how can I force upper case, or lower for that matter if
needed.

Thanks

Use CSS to set the font to uppercase.

If you wanted a whole paragraph displayed in upper case, you can either use
the <style> in the <head> section or you can use in-line style. The <head>
section method would be to place the following between <head> and </head> at
the top of your page (in code view)
<style type="text/css">
p.uppercase {text-transform:uppercase}
</style>
Then you would assign the class to the paragraph you want:
<p class="uppercase">This is some text.</p>
Alternatively, you can use in-line style like so:
<p style="text-transform:uppercase">This is some text.</p>
See http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_text.asp for more info.

Thanks. I have been out there messing around. Earlier when I mentioned
field, I was referring to a Text Box in a form. Do this also apply there as
well?

Input renders as uppercase in FireFox and IE8:

However, it is unlikely the text will be sent to the server as uppercase
when the form is submitted - but your form handler can change it if using
PHP, asp or asp.NET - FrontPage extensions will not change the case.

For a form you're probably better using javascript to force upper case -
this way the form field contents will display to your user and be sent to
your server in upper case.

<input type="text" onkeyup="this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();"
name="whatever" />
or for lower case
<input type="text" onkeyup="this.value=this.value.toLowerCase();"
name="whatever" />
