Maximum distant a planet can capture a satellite

Greetings to the group.

I am writing an article for the club newsletter and am trying to find
some information about the limit at which a planet can capture or hold
a moon. I have seen it mentioned on this group before and it has a
name but I do not recall it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
