How do i get a spell checker to function insode of a notes field

To be more specific, i want the notes field to automatically check spelling like Microsoft Word does during input. Is this possible

Still hoping for some help on this one, ny inof even a "No its impossible" would help

Martix,

I don't think Access has an autocorrect like Word. The only thing I could suggest is to run the spell checker before saving the data. For example, you could put the following in the form's BeforeUpdate event:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling

to run the spell checker before the data is saved. I don't know if you can get any information back from this, e.g., if the user cancels out before completing the spell check, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

There is probably a way to 1. invoke Word, 2. let the user input the text into Word, and 3. get control and the entered text back again to store in your table but this seems like a lot of code and trouble to me.
