Spell Checking in Access 2002

[Denny G.]

Access 2002. How can I get the spell checker to limit
its check to a specific text/memo field for a specific
record in a form. Currently, the spell checker, when
activated, wants to check every text/memo field in every
record in the entire open form. Thanks.

To do that, you have to select the text you want to spell
check:

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

Thanks, Marshall. I will give it a try.
