[AccessD] Autocorrect Dialog Box

Bill:

Not trying to set the autocorrect options but just trigger the dialog box so
that the user can fiddle with it.  Apparently, from what I've been able to
find on the internets,  it works in Excel - there's a constant for it in the
Application.Dialogs object.  But I can't find the equivalent for Access.

Although, IME, anything you can do through the menus you can do through
code.  Since I can get that dialog box by clicking
Tools-->AutoCorrectOptions in 2003 (there's a different sequence of course,
in 2007) I'm thinking this has to be doable in code as well.

Rocky,

Does it work the next time you open the app?

Some property changes don't take effect while the app is open but do the
next time it's opened. Of course if you have set the property back to false
on application or form close you will never know.

Application.AutoCorrect.DisplayAutoCorrectOptions = True

Compiles but doesn't show the AUtoCorrect options dialog box.

This:

Application.AutoCorrect.DisplayAutoCorrectOptions

Doesn't work.  Invalid use of property compiler error.

Dear List:

Does anyone know how to trigger the AutoCorrect Options dialog box from VBA?
