My problem is actually to take the name fields in the database (all in Uppercase) and correctly display them. For instance:
O'IRISHNAME --> as O'Irishname and
LONGHYPHENATED-NAME as Longhyphenated-Name and
LASTNAME/PARTTWO as Lastname/Parttwo and lastly
LNAME PARTTWO as Lname Parttwo.

Expecting to have to write a UDF in SQL Server Management Studio 2005.

Look up LOWER(), UPPER(), CHARINDEX() and SUBSTR in Books online (BOL)
