Thesaurus in Acess Form

[belairbrian]

Can get spell checking without a problem. Boss wants me to add thesaurus function. Would prefer it be on a right click shortcut menu.
Any Ideas?

Hi,

Buy an electronic thesaurus list - on the net.
Then use it in your application (just as you have incorporated your 'spell-check').

Thesaurus lists contain 'key' fields to be searched on, they take a lot of time to compile, and payment for such time taken is good.

No?

If you can't find a 'free' thesaurus list - then you buy one.

Never argue with an idiot, he'll bring you down to his level - then beat you with experience.

Hmmm, I'm assuming if you have Access than you have Word.

I would think therefore that you could use Word's thesaurus through automation, but I've never tried.

JoeAtWork,

You can. I have some sample code somewhere that I wrote a couple of years ago. I'll see if I can find it...
