Spell Checking

Hi

I have a form set for no edits. I would like to spell check the form when
someone adds a new record, the problem is that spell check is not accessible
when the form is set for no edits. Can anybody help me with the code so I
can put it into an event procedure to allow edits , do the spell check then
turn edits off again.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you

That was almost too easy. Now the spell checker wants to check every record
in the data base, is there a way to make it only check the current record in
the open form?

I am not real familiar with calling the spell checker from code. Please post
the code you are using.

About the only work around I could think of would be to filter your form to
show just the record you want to check, then remove the filter after the
check is complete.

When I had the form set for edits and used this code, when I closed the spell
checker it populated all fields on the form with zero or minus one. When I go
to the next record it updates the database with these values, which is not
acceptable. How do I prevent this?

Chuck,
This worked great for what I needed to do. Instead of creating a
button to launch the Spell Check, I put the event procedure for "On Loss
Focus". This ensures the spell check is ran on every entry.

I did notice one problem. If you type ANYTHING in all caps, it
automatically thinks it is spelled correctly. I typed in GREART, greart, and
Greart and GREART passed the check while the other two were captured.

Any ideas on how to solve that issue?
