Well, of course you have the _right_ to do it --- as long as it's legal, and it's not something that *requires* the data to remain unaltered, you have the right to do manipulate it however you want. The question comes down to ethics and in predicting the preferences of the user. I know what you mean, though. In most cases, you should have neither the need nor desire to alter user input upon INSERT/UPDATE. -- </Daniel P.
