Upper to lower case conversion

[android]

For some reason I have entered all my records of my library in capitals
I really would like to convert them to normal case (sentence case?)
i.e. Caps for for first letters of records and for proper nouns.
e.g. ALICE IN WONDERLAND

LEWIS CARROL

HARDBACK

to Alice in Wonderland

Lewis Carrol

Hardback

etc.

Trouble is I am a complete novice. I know that there are functions but
aside from entering data into sheets I have created I don't know how t
convert the 504 records without typing each one out again.

Is there a routine / utility which would convert. Is there anyone ou
there who can explain step by step in VERY simple terma please.

Use StrConv() to convert to proper case.

1. Create a query into your table.

2. Change it to an Update query (Update on Query menu).
Access adds an Update row to the grid.

3. In the Update row under the field called BookTitle, enter:
StrConv([BookTitle], 3)

4. Run the query.

You will have to manually sort out words like McDonald, O'Conner, d'Bruin,
In, etc.
