ProperCase for normal usage is simple:
Dim s, s1, s2 As String
s = "DENNIS TURNER"
s1 = StrConv(s, VbStrConv.ProperCase)

Even with names it's simple Turner, Dennis
Turner, Mr. Dennis

But thereafter it can become more complicated:

Turner, Dennis Md
Turner, Dennis Phd

I can go through the 10 or 15 most likely suspects and handle them with
select case statements. However, I feel I am reinventing the wheel.

Somewhere, someplace, somebody must have created a class that already
handles a great number of these annoyances. I would appreciate being
directed to it.

Thank you.

Hi

For the msdn, we know that the ProperCase is used to convert the first
letter of every work to uppercase.
ProperCase vbProperCase Converts the first letter of every word in the
string to uppercase.

I am not sure what do you want to do,do you mean you want to convert the
TURNER, Dennis PHDas the format of Turner, Dennis PHD?
If so, I think you may need to exclude the Phd from the conversion string.
