Default Propercase, strings and arrays

Hi Paul

Select the range to be converted and run the below macro which should
convert as specified. (script that allows me to evaluate a cell values first
2 characters for "MC")

Sub Macro()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If UCase(cell.Text) Like "MC*" Then
cell.Value = "Mc" & StrConv(Mid(cell, 3), vbProperCase)
End If
Next
End Sub

Hi,

I need to write some script that allows me to evaluate a cell values first 2
characters for "MC". If found Uppercase the 3rd Character. This way I can use
it and adapt it for any naming anomoly.

eg "MCCARTHY" - "McCarthy"

My thoughts were to put each character of the value and evaluate the first
character then the second. When a match is found re-write the value out of
the array in the correct casing format.


Cheers
