Hello Joe,

There is an VbStrConv.ProperCase under the StrConv function which would seem
to be a pretty simple way to do the conversion.

I found this on Rich Strahl's website:
http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/361.aspx.

Converts string to ProperCase in a culture sensitive manner. Seems to be
just what you need:

TextBox1.Text =
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCultu re.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(TextBox1.Text);

Brian,

Thanks. I tried that eysterday, too. It works fine except it doesn't
handle things like McDonald or O'Connor. Could I have mised something in the
implementation? I use the exact code that you incldued in your last post
(from Rich's website).

Joe - You might want to take a look at this function. It considers names
like McDonald and O'Connor. You can also add your own exceptions.
