Is there a spell check control for text/memo controls.

[Tom]

What is the best/easiest way to spell check what users
type in? Is there a spell check controll in Office 2003
that I can use in Access?

There is a spell check control right in Access. Use the F7 button. You can
also call it with code like this:

Public Function Spell()
' Arvin Meyer 9/17/1998
' Adapted from code by Terry Wickenden
Dim ctlSpell As Control
Dim frm As Form
Set frm = Screen.ActiveForm
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
' Enumerate Controls collection.
For Each ctlSpell In frm.Controls
If TypeOf ctlSpell Is TextBox Then
If Len(ctlSpell) > 0 Then
With ctlSpell
.SetFocus
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(ctlSpell)
End With
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
End If
End If
Next
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Function
