It's not a Validation, it's a Format. A Format script is often used to control 
how the result is displayed. It does not change the underlying field value. You 
could set up a format script so the a field value of Rose displays as 
Cornflower, but a rose by any other name...

If you want to change the actual field value, you'll want to use a script in 
the Validate event and not use a built-in formatting type. To make data entry 
smoother, the field value you change might be that of a hidden field that 
mirrors the field in question, but with the required formatting. You'd then 
just include the hidden field when submitting, and not the corresponding one 
used for data entry.
