This entry was posted in VBA Functions by steve. I made sure for access everything was running of his computer (including all addons for access2010). I just installed only access2010 and when ever he tries to use spell checker it says 'spell check not installed'. This specific person also needed to use access 2010 for reporting purposes. You can turn off these features, and use other options. I have installed on a PC office 2007 Professinoal edition. This is what makes ms-access bring up the dialog form that let’s you fix your errors. In many macOS apps, spelling is checked while you type, and mistakes are automatically corrected. Using the DoCmd.SetWarnings True tells ms-access to alert you when a spelling mistake is made. Make MS-Access alert you to a misspelled word In the above code, ‘DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling’ is used to perform the actual spell checking. Every programmer ends up using it because it does so much. The Docmd object has been around in versions of access for years. What a relief! Use the DoCmd obect to invoke the spell checking feature The vba code ‘DoCmd.SetWarnings False’ quiets down the error detection so you can finish typing. There is a way to stop ms access from warning you about spelling mistakes.

Most people don’t want to be constantly interrupted while they are writing, spelling errors or not. For this reason, MS Office (or MS Office Proofing Tools) must be installed on each computer on which you want to use the MS Office spell-check. Stop MS-Access Cycling through Every Error (Quiet Warnings) If you activate the MS Office spell-checker as spell-check entity in Across, Across will access the MS Office spell-checker on the local system in the background while working in crossDesk. You need to makes sure the control has the focus so the program can select the text to check. In the ‘Comment_Log.SetFocus’, the vba code will Set focus on that specific text box. Getting MS Access to Focus on the Control This is needed so that the spell checking can work on the entire text. The next line, “Comment_Log.SelLength = Len(Comment_Log.Text)” makes sure the entire text block is selected. “Comment_Log.SelStart = 0 ” simply start the selection for the start of the text. How To start selecting text in a MS-Access Control (text box) So if the empty string “” is found, then it simply exits out of the routine altogether.į some text to check the spelling is found, the VBA code in the ‘Else’ is invoked. The vba code of ” If Nz(Comment_Log.Text, “”) = “” Then Exit Sub” uses the “NZ” function to return an empty string if the text box contains nothing. The entire functionality of spell checking an ms-access memo field, bound to a simple text box is accomplished via a little VBA Code.
