If by "word cap" you mean Each Word Capitalized, Including Mistakes Like
Mcneil And O'brien, you can run an update query updating the field to

StrConv([fieldname], 3)

Thanks. Thank just what I wanted. But its no wonder I could not find it. Its
a bit on the cryptic side.

That's one of those annoying hidden arcana that someone just has to tell you
about. You're right, it's well hidden and the Help file indexing (or lack
thereof) doesn't help.
