spell check entire database

[Tuxla]

Is there a way of spell checking an entire database? I have inherited a
database where there are loads of spelling mistakes in the forms, tables and
queries (by the creator, not the data inputter).
I started going through each one but the F7 spell check didn't pick up table
headings, and when I went into the design of a table, I couldn't use F7 and
had to check manually.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Nothing built-in, but I hear FMS have a tool that will do that ...

I haven't personally used this particular product, but I have used and been
happy with other FMS products.

thanks. I'll give it a go and let you know if it works

Just in case anyone is interested - I downloaded the free trial as it is
expensive to buy the license.
It was easy to install and run and it pointed out all the spelling errors
(including built-in commands and macros, which was slightly annoying,
although I suppose if you used it a lot you could add them to the
dictionary).
You then have the option of ignoring or changing them, in the same way a
normal spell checker works.
Once done, you click on next and in the real version it then writes all the
changes, but in the trial it doesn't.
It was still useful though, as you can preview all the changes in a table
and it picked up a few errors I hadn't seen when going through manually spell
checking.
It also showed exactly where to find the error rather than me having to try
to find it.
