I'm sorry, I wasn't explicit enough, I meant to say capitalize the
first letter of each word. Meaning I have to read the whole string, cap
the first letter of words and un-cap the rest, then re-assign it ... I
have already written the function for this. But re-assignment of the
whole string causes the field to forget where the cursor is ...
Thanks,
