Does anyone know how I can implement the following code into my existing "ProperCase" module so that it would work as one. The ProperCase code I got from these forums works great and has an "Exception List", but the only downfall is it can't detect numeric values before an Alpha character.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't seem to figure out how to integrate the 2 together.
This code checks to see if there is an Alpha character after a number. (Example: 418c centre street) and would then convert it to upper case (418C Centre Street):

Function NumericAddress(strIn As String) As String

Dim j As Integer
Dim I As Integer
strIn = StrConv(strIn, vbProperCase)
arrString = Split(strIn, " ")
For j = 0 To UBound(arrString)
For I = 1 To Len(arrString(j))
If IsNumeric(Mid(arrString(j), I, 1)) Then
arrString(j) = StrConv(arrString(j), vbUpperCase)
Exit For
End If
Next I
Next j
NumericAddress = Join(arrString(), " ")
