    Hi there,

    In an unused column enter (presuming your list starts at A1):

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Drag this down your 400 entries, then copy the lot and over your capitalized towns and cities Paste Values.

    HTH,

    Change Case

    Sub Proper_Case()
    ' Loop to cycle through each cell in the specified range.
    For Each x In Range("C1:C5")
    ' There is not a Proper function in Visual Basic for Applications.
    ' So, you must use the worksheet function in the following form:
    x.Value = Application.Proper(x.Value)
    Next
    End Sub


    Change the range to be where the cities are listed...run Macro

    Ada01,

    You too need to read our forum rules

    You need to wrap all code in Code Tags.
