Doedit fails

[GCC Consulting]

Last test in 5.6 and found the problem.

It appears the starting capital letter causes the title edit to fail.

To test the problem I did a mid statement of the field and replaced the capital M with a lower case M and ran the resulting value through doedit and it worked.
