[AccessD] Access 2007 spell check

OK, it works now.  I went in to Access Options/Proofing and the "Suggest
from main dictionary" item was unchecked so I checked it. Custom dictionary
language also showed English(Austrailia). Can't understand anything those
guys say anyway, so changed to English(US). ;-) After that it works. Who
wuda thunk? 

Thanks for keeping me looking.

Doug

I haven't seen the problem; I'm sorry I can't help.
