    Spell checking a text box on a form

    hi, cheers for the help. i've tried the code you posted and it works, but it does the same as the first code and changes record after it's complete. i need it to just check the spelling of the record that's currently loaded on the form. cheers Wayne

    Spell checking a text box on a form

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a spell check to work on a text box on a form. i've got it popping the spell check window after the box has been updated but i'd prefer it to just highlight the errors in red, rather than pop the spell check box. another problem i'm having is when it's finished...

    Hi, Thanks for the advice and the link. Would you mind giving me an example of a value with delimiters? i'm trying to decipher the code in the link and it would probably be helpful to see one before i try and create one. Thanks Again Wayne

    little update, i've found a few posts on other sites that i'm pretty sure are trying to do the same thing as what i'm doing and i've progressed (can i call it progression when the code doesn't appear to do anything?) but the code doesn't appear to do anything. just wondering if one of you guys...

    hi, it's error 429, a runtime error. i am definitely using the correct path to the dll file and it was definitely enclosed in quotes. i also tried your NEW reference instead of the CREATEOBJECT and when i ran the debugger it stopped in exactly the same place. like i said, i don't think it's a...

    ActiveX Component Can't Create Object
