Code:
Private Sub Description_Change()
        Description.Value = StrConv(Description.Value, vbProperCase)
End Sub

I have this code working fine of previouse post but i want now to do it for the first word in the box on the user form.

"This Is How It Currently Changes It"

"This is how i want to be ABLE to Enter"

just the first letter must be Caps tyhe rest what ever I type.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Desciption.Value = UCase(left(Description.Value,1)) & right(Description.Value,len(Description.Value)-1)

How about:

Code:
if not isnull(Desciption.Value) then Desciption.Value = UCase(left(Description.Value,1)) & right(Description.Value,len(Description.Value)-1)

Then you don't need the on error resume next
