Custom Dictionary in Access application

[Guest]

I'm developing an Access application, and the client wants to be able to run
the spell checker on several of the forms. No problem so far.

However, this particular client has a set of words and acronyms that would
confuse most of us. I would like to create this custom dictionary file and
store it on the network. Then, when the user runs the spell checker, I would
like to point the Office custom dictionary to this file, so that any
additions would go to it, and so we only have to edit a single dictionary
file. Then, when the spell checker is complete, I would switch the custom
dictionary back to what it was.

Any body know how to accomplish this?

Hi Dale,

I've never done this, but my guess is that you'll need to use a
Word.Application object and fiddle with its ActiveCustomDictionary. At
least that's where I'd start trying.
