Need a function that capitalises the first letter of each word, as used in titles?

Unlike some title case functions, this one doesn't just look for spaces, but capitilises the first letter after each non-alpha character which means that hyphenated words and words after numbers are considered new words.

Function TitleCase(byVal strValue) Dim intChat, intLastChar, blnUCase strValue = LCase(strValue) For intChar = 1 To Len(strValue) blnUCase = False If intChar = 1 Then blnUCase = True Else intLastChar = Asc(Mid(strValue, intChar - 1, 1)) If Not ((intLastChar >= 97 And intLastChar <= 122) Or (intLastChar >= 65 And intLastChar <= 90)) Then blnUCase = True End If End If If blnUCase Then strValue = Left(strValue, intChar - 1) & UCase(Mid(strValue, intChar, 1)) & Mid(strValue, intChar + 1) End If Next TitleCase = strValue End Function
