ProperCase
By Agron Kovaci, published on 01 Apr 2002
This code converts a string to Proper Case (ie the first character of every word to upper case).
Example
Text1.Text = Capitalize(Text1.Text, " .:?!", False, True)
/p>
Add the following code to a form or module.
' strAllText: The text to bee Replaced
' sDelimiter: You can put some characters
' eg. if sDelimiter=
"'./;\=-()"
' the character
after these will be UCase
' blnLineFeed: If True First character
' for evry Line
will be UCase
' blnNoReplace: If True the characters that are
' UCase will not
change
'
Public Function ProperCase(strAllText As String, _
Optional sDelimiter As String = " ", _
Optional blnLineFeed As Boolean = False, _
Optional blnNoReplace As Boolean = False) As String
If Len(strAllText) = 0 Then Exit Function
If Len(strAllText) > 32767 Then
' if Len of th Text is to big You can call this
' Function sometimes with the text
' smoler than 32767 characters
ProperCase = strAllText
Exit Function

Seems a bit OTT to me
why not just use the intrinsic VB function:
StrConv(sText, vbProperCase)
This thread is for discussions of ProperCase.
