Code Snippet:
< %
function format_ucase(tname)
do while instr(tname, " ")
temp_string = left(tname, instr(tname," " ) -1)
' ucase the first letter
format_ucase = format_ucase & ucase(mid(temp_string, 1,1))
' lcase for rest of word
format_ucase = format_ucase & lcase(mid(temp_string,2)) & " "
tname = right(tname, len(tname) - instr(tname," " ))
loop
'show me what i get
format_ucase = format_ucase & ucase(mid(tname, 1,1))
format_ucase = format_ucase & mid(tname,2)
end function
%>

Here are a couple other common scenarios using ASP:

All Upper Case Text:

< %
name = "Zach vonFelten"
response.write(ucase(name))
%>

Output:

ZACH VONFELTEN

All Lower Case Text:
< %
name = "Zach vonFelten"
response.write(lcase(name))
%>

Output:

zach vonfelten
