From FMP2 (or earlier) to FMP6 the result would have been '1'.

I tried this in FM6 and it also gives 2 - this is not new to FM7.

In FMP6 you could obtain this this special behavior by defining
storage/indexing as ASCII.
In FMP7 you can't get rid of this behavior.

In FM7, the "Unicode" option replaces "ASCII", and the behavior i
identical for low ascii characters

Yep, you get an answer of 2 in both FileMaker 4.1 and FileMaker 5.5 as
well.

You also get the same "2" answer if you chage it to:
PatternCount ( "Aa", "A" )

As far as I can remember FileMaker has always ignored the case of
letters - it's what makes Finds so easy ... or annoying, depending on
what you're trying to do.
