Turn off auto-correct spelling

[Lynn_AccessUser]

Does anyone have the code to turn off auto-correct spelling. I know you can go into the db options and turn it off. The problem is that it seems to be machine specific rather than application specific. For example, I turned off the option and when I copied the db to another user's computer the auto-correct was enabled again.

I figure I would put the code on the open event property of the switchboard and when the user closed the db it would enable it again. If this is incorrect logic, please let me know.

Thanks!!

Hi,

I don't have the code you ask, but another option:
Controls (like textboxes) on your forms have an option "Allow Autocorrect" (or something like that, I'm not using an English version of Access), that you can set to No instead of Yes (Default).

Maybe that would do for you?

Saves code, but you have to set it one time for each textbox...

good luck,
Bert

PS. Pat, I looked for that, but couldn't find the AutoCorrect for Text?

I couldn't find the global option either.

Yea, I was hoping I wouldn't have to set the property on every field on every form.

But you can select all controls on a form and set the option for all that control in one time, so you've to set it one time for each form.
