Hey guys,

I need to add a spell checker to my content manager.

What do you recommend?

Thanks for your help!

I saw someone once use Microsoft Words spell check some how. He added a couple DLL's and the custom.dic to the project. Might search for that. Wish I could be more help.

Create a button on your form "btnSpell" ... (Titled, "Spell"); specify [event procedure] for event 'On Click'; enter the following VBA code...


Private Sub btnSpell_Click()

    On Error GoTo Err_btnSpell_Click

    Dim ctlSpell As Control

    Set ctlSpell = Screen.PreviousControl
    If TypeOf ctlSpell Is TextBox Then
        If IsNull(Len(ctlSpell)) Or Len(ctlSpell) = 0 Then
            MsgBox "There is nothing to spell check."
            ctlSpell.SetFocus
            Exit Sub
        End If
        With ctlSpell
        .SetFocus
        .SelStart = 0
        .SelLength = Len(ctlSpell)
        End With
        DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
    Else
        MsgBox "Spell check is not available for this item."
    End If

    ctlSpell.SetFocus

Exit_btnSpell_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_btnSpell_Click:
    MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ":" & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & Err.Description
    Resume Exit_btnSpell_Click

End Sub

Note... to the best of my knowledge... you cannot spell check all fields on a form at once... the above works when a user has his cursor in any one field on a form... it will only spell check that one field...

Sorry... misread your question... never mind!
