[AccessD] Spell Check

Kevin:

That might do it.  Not the 'perfect' solution for this client. But gets him
closer fur sure. 

Originally there was just the one line:  DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling.
Which meant he could hit Cancel and the spell check would stop.  

But it checked all the fields which meant a lot clicking of 'Ignore All'.
He only wants to check the one field - TimeEntryNarrative - so I set him up
with that.  But there's no way to stop the spell check once it starts and if
the underlying recordset isn't well filtered, then it takes a long time to
finish.

Thanks,

Rocky

Rocky,

Comment out the line...
'DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acFirst
And it will start from the current record.

By the way, nice code!

HTH,
Kevin

Dear List:
 
I have a spell check in an app built-in to a command button - spell checks
one text field on a continuous bound form.  It works well, except that there
doesn't seem to be a way to interrupt it once it's started.  I tried a few
different events thinking I could set a tag in a control, and, in the spell
checking loop, look for a change in the tag.  But nothing seems to trigger
while it's in the loop.
 
I've modified the routine to spell check only the current record.  But it
would be nice to be able to spell check forward from the current record to
the end of the recordset but give the user a way to escape if the
accidentally start the spell check and want to abort it.  Spell checking the
whole recordset at the moment takes about 10 minutes.
 
Any ideas?
 
Here's the code.  It's pretty simple:
 
    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acFirst
    Do While Me.NewRecord = False
        Me.TimeEntryNarrative.SetFocus
        Me.TimeEntryNarrative.SelStart = 0
        If Not IsNull(Me.TimeEntryNarrative) Then
            Me.TimeEntryNarrative.SelLength = Len(Me.TimeEntryNarrative)
            DoCmd.SetWarnings False
            DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
            DoCmd.SetWarnings True
        End If
        DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
    Loop

 
MTIA,
 
Rocky
