I cannot consistently spell check memo fields and it drives my users crazy because they cannot either.

The command "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling" does not cut the mustard. The following errors are possible, indicating that Access has little to no idea what is being requested:

"Index or Primary Key can't contain a null value." and "Field <field name> can't be a zero length string."

Access apparently is attempting to write the record with the spell checker is invoked.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Is this after entering a new record? Try saving the record first.
