I'm trying to enter data into an Access database where only the first letter
of each word is capitalized and the rest of the word is lower case

Hi dbadamski,

You can use the StrConv function in the AfterUpdate event procedure of a
textbox on a form. For example, in the Northwind sample database on the
Categories form, you can use the following procedure for the CategoryName
textbox:

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Private Sub CategoryName_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo ProcError

Me.CategoryName = StrConv([CategoryName], 3)

ExitProc:
Exit Sub
ProcError:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description, _
vbCritical, "Error in CategoryName_AfterUpdate event procedure..."
Resume ExitProc
End Sub


See the following KB article for more details:
