Wavy red underline spellcheck

[megamef]

Hi All,

I've read about using spell check on a per field basis using the lost focus event.

This solution works but I dislike how it's another menu and it will bring up the menu every time there is a error as the field will be a user report field about technical repairs so could well include lots of unknown words.

An ideal solution would be the wavy red lines that you can right click on as in Microsoft Word.

Is there a way to do this in an access form field?

Cheers Steve

Thanks Pat,

I know that you can add words to the dictionary but you still need to go through the menu and then add each one when they occur (that might be every new record). The best situation would be if they just underlined with wavy lines, that way if a word wasn't recognised it would just be highlighted and you could ignore the error but if a "real" word was misspelt you could notice and correct it with a right click.

I've decided to put the spell checker code inside a button on the form (that way the ignore if wanted but use if necessary option is there).This works but when the spell checker completes it triggers the before update event; this is no good as I use that event to ask the user if they want to save, which doesn't make sense half way down a form.

Any way to suppress the before update trigger after a spell check?
