Spell Check

[Guest]

How do you have Access 2003 spell check one record in a form? In Access
2000, when you were in a form and pressed the spell check button, it would
spell check the current record that was displayed. In Access 2003, when you
are in a form and press the spell check button, it will go back to the very
first record and start spell check from there. This would not be a problem
if we didn't have thousands of records. If anyone know how this is done, it
would be very helpful.

This has been asked many times in the last few weeks.

Please do a search and read the previous posts on the topic.

I have searched, and there is no answer to this question.

I'm not aware of Access 2003 behaving differently than Access 2000 in
this regard, though I'm not using A2003. For me, A2000 and A2002 both
work the way you are complaining that A2003 does.

To spell-check just the current record, you should select the current
record first. If you are doing it by way of the standard Access user
interface, just click on the record selector first, or choose menu items
Edit -> Select Record. Then press F7 or otherwise start the spell
check. If you have created a command button to do the spell check, use
code like this:

RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
RunCommand acCmdSpelling
