The VBA expression would be

StrConv("GEORGE BUSH",3)

Perhaps changing it to george bush would be more appropriate!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

On the Form's control's AfterUpdate event code:
Me![ControlName] = StrConv([ControlName],3)

Note: this will incorrectly capitalize some words which contain more
than one capital, i.e. O'Brien, MacDonald, IBM, Jones-Smith, ABC,
etc., and incorrectly capitalize some words that should not have any
capitals, or whose capitalization depends upon usage, such as e. e.
cummings, abc, van den Steen.
Then some names can be capitalized in more than one manner, depending
upon personal preference, i.e. O'Connor and O'connor, McDaniels and
Mcdaniels, etc. are all correct.

You can create a table of exceptions and have the code use DLookUp
with a message if one of the exception words is found.
