What are you spellchecking? and when? Even without the
Word-as-editor capability, Access allows you to check
spelling in individual fields or entire tables. It uses
the same spelling dictionary as Word. What's missing is
the red squiggles, since Access doesn't have a "check
spelling as you type" feature (nor does Excel). You
wouldn't want that, since a lot of raw data is names of
people and places that are not likely to be in any
spelling dictionary; you'd have squiggles everywhere you
look. For the same reason, SQL Server has no spell
checking at all.
