Spell check option / command on form 1

[traffas]

I have a form that is presented to the user.... It has a memo field that contains a 'narritive'. Is there a way to add a "spell check" command on the form so that the user can use spell check prior to exiting the form?

Many thanks in advance for your consideration

Yes - but first make sure you SELECT THE CURRENT RECORD. Then call the acCmdSpelling method:

Docmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling

If you don't select the current record first, the spellchecker will do your entire table.

I notice that this ignores all caps. Is there a way to turn that off? prodevmg@yahoo.com

I think to DoCmd is the way to go in this instance. Just so you know, you can also add SpellCheck icon to a custom toolbar and show that toolbar to users wherever appropriate. Also, for a poor-mans spellcheck you can highlight text with cursor and click F7 in Access.
