Proper Case

[umberto]

What is the code for converting all lower case or all upper case into 1st letter capitalize in a form. Also, will this store the data in a table in proper case format?

Access has a built in function for this: StrConv(string, vbProperCase).

Public Function CapAllFirst(FValue)<br>
'Capitalize the first letter of all words in a field value and convert<br>
' all other letters to lowercase<br>
Dim Here, NewValue As String<br>
Dim Spot As Integer, Wordstart As Boolean<br>
Wordstart = True<br>
NewValue = CStr(FValue)<br>
For Spot = 1 To Len(FValue)<br>
Here = Mid(NewValue, Spot, 1)<br>
If Here = &quot; &quot; Then<br>
Wordstart = True<br>
Else<br>
If Wordstart Then<br>
Mid(NewValue, Spot, 1) = UCase(Mid(NewValue, Spot, 1))<br>
Wordstart = False<br>
Else<br>
Mid(NewValue, Spot, 1) = LCase(Mid(NewValue, Spot, 1))<br>

This is also a Module that will Capitalize the first letter of a text Box, then all you have to do is under AfterUpdate for a text box to put for example CapAll(State). This would capitalize the first letter for the state under the state AfterUpdate property.
