[AccessD] Sel Start and Sel Length not working for me

Hmmmm.  Try passing the textbox as a textbox instead of as a control.  Mine
does work this way.

The code doesn't error.  Just doesn't select the text. I put in some
MsgBoxes.  Everything checks out. Just doesn't select the text.

Hi Rocky,

For spellchecking I do this, and it works every time.  

    txt.SelStart = 0
    txt.SelLength = Len(txt.Text)
    
    DoCmd.SetWarnings False
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
    DoCmd.SetWarnings True

You might be having an issue with ctl, because I don't think that every
control has a length.  Also, the + 1 on the length could be a problem too.

Which line does your code error out on?
