Auto-uppercase first letter of first/last name?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Lauri

One way to do this (although it's not foolproof) is to use StrConv function
in code that is run in the AfterUpdate event of the textbox:

Private Sub txtBoxName_AfterUpdate()
Me.txtBoxName.Value = StrConv(Me.txtBoxName.Value, vbProperCase)
End Sub

Note that this will capitalize the first letter of each word, which may not
give the right results for nonstandard names:

rosemarie will become Rosemarie even if it should be RoseMarie

etc.
