Hi Don
The majority would be Mc, Mac, and O'. That would be pretty straight
forward. Where I would see problems would be the French/Spanish names
like my wife's maiden: DeGolyer. The there are the Vans: Van Cleef.
With and without the space. I think there are too many possibilities
outside of the first three. And after looking at my data, the Mac
ain't easy either.
As for the corruption, I have never seen that. What exactly was
corrupted? Could you post with and without versions?

First, has anyone written (in English) a formula for scanning text
and adjusting the capitalization of names? As in changing MCCARTHY
to McCarthy? I'm about to undertake this to see how it goes but if
someone has done it it would be helpful. Obviously there's no great
trick to it other than writing a very, very long formula.
Secondly, on one of my larger voter databases that was acting just
fine yesterday, when I opened it up this morning the colors changed
on my basic panel listing and report writing screens. I went in to
the STE file and saw that there was a bit of corruption in the
header area which I was able to correct without having to reindex
(that takes all night plus some . . . ) but I'm wondering how often
any of you find that happening.
