This suggestion doesn't actually change the data, just the display of the
data on that particular layout.

You need to use the REPLACE command to change the data.  There's a
calculation function called PROPER() that capitalizes the first letter of
each word and makes the rest of the letters lower case.

REPLACE commands can be tricky if you are unfamiliar with them, so ask if
you need help.

Hi Ben,

In layout mode, select the field. Under format change Text to be Title
Case. This will make the first letter of every word Captial.
