I just descovered the F7 spelling check button in Access. We have an Access
2000 application and would like to use this feature. However, I have an edit
form with multiple tabs and the spelling check seems to not only jump from
tab to tab but skips the next record in the database and keeps going.

Is there any configuration settings in Access 2000 that will limit the F7
spelling check to a single text box. Alternatively I could write some code
that would popup the text in a new window and then save it back. Does anyone
know the code to obtain the name of the currently selected form and the
currently selected control?

try something like the following:

thetextbox.SetFocus
thetextbox.SelStart = 0
thetextbox.SelLength = Len(thetextbox)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
