Book Capitalization for the oddball and not so oddball exceptions

Last month we were introduced to an excellent method to ensure book capitalization within a field or form entry. While this approach covers the situation in the vast majority of cases, there are circumstances that arise where we need to take a different tact. While brown becomes Brown mcdonald becomes Mcdonald and not McDonald as desired. Then there are the designed variances such as IBM and eBay, both of which are problems for the simpler method. We will demonstrate an approach that will account for almost any exception and when it does not, can be updated as exceptions are discovered.  What's more, this approach can be added to almost any database and by splitting the code from the table it becomes available to as many applications as desired. Even if you are not a coder, the code is so simple that a cut and paste will give you the same results as you will see in the demo.
