I don't think it will, but the only way to do that is to edit the LastName field in the Master table in the database. Once a player is imported, his bio info doesn't get imported or updated during future imports.

I actually put some code in there to try to make the case a little better. The name is passed to a function and if it contains any of these: " ", ",", "'", ".", "-", "" it capitalizes the next letter. Or, if it starts with "Mc", then it capitalizes the next letter.

I'm open to other suggested cases, but it's an all or nothing option. If I added "De", it would also change DeSmond and DeAring and DeRosa. Might not be a good idea.
