So I scrounged this function up many, many years ago and it works great....

Code:


Function TitleCase(stValue)
	iPos = 1
	Do While InStr(iPos, stValue, " ", 1) <> 0
		iSpace = InStr(iPos, stValue, " ", 1)
		sTemp = sTemp & UCase(Mid(stValue, iPos, 1))
		sTemp = sTemp & LCase(Mid(stValue, iPos + 1, iSpace - iPos))
		iPos = iSpace + 1
	Loop
 
	sTemp = sTemp & UCase(Mid(stValue, iPos, 1))
	sTemp = sTemp & LCase(Mid(stValue, iPos + 1))
 
	TitleCase = sTemp
End Function

This capitalizes every letter after a space.
I would like it to also capitalize letters after a dash. I played with it for several hours yesterday but obviously functions are not my strong suit.

Switch the order of your title tags

You will probably need to do the replacement twice, you could try changing your function so that it also accepts a variable that it is to use as the separator, you can then call the same function twice by passing it a space and then a dash

so, declare the function like Function TitleCase(stValue, stSeparator) and the do while would change to Do While InStr(iPos, stValue, stSeparator, 1) <> 0 and the same for the iSpace = InStr(iPos, stValue, " ", 1) change to iSpace = InStr(iPos, stValue, stSeparator, 1)

Antique topic, but this would work:

Code:


Function TitleCase(fString)
	iPos = 1
	Do While ((InStr(iPos, fString, " ", 1) <> 0) Or (InStr(iPos, fString, "-", 1) <> 0))
		If InStr(iPos, fString, " ", 1) Then
			iSpace = InStr(iPos, fString, " ", 1)
		ElseIf InStr(iPos, fString, "-", 1) Then
			iSpace = InStr(iPos, fString, "-", 1)
		End If
		sTemp = sTemp & UCase(Mid(fString, iPos, 1))
		sTemp = sTemp & LCase(Mid(fString, iPos + 1, iSpace - iPos))
		iPos = iSpace + 1
	Loop
	sTemp = sTemp & UCase(Mid(fString, iPos, 1))
	sTemp = sTemp & LCase(Mid(fString, iPos + 1))
	TitleCase = sTemp
End Function
