[AccessD] Can I spell check an unbound field?

OK.  Here's my hack.  Create a table with one field.  Bind your form to that 
table (I'm assuming the form's not bound to a table already.  If so I guess 
you could add this field to the table).  Put an invisible text box on your 
form bound to that field.  In the after update event of the text box copy 
the contents of the unbound text box to the field in the table using DAO. 
Requery the form so the text is in the invisible text box.  Spell check the 
bound text box.

There's got to be an easier way.  Stand by for better ideas...
