spell check in Access greyed out

Hello,
I inherited an Access application from a previous coworker. It seems
the Spell Check is never enabled unless I open the application by
holding down the shift key and double clicking the application icon at
the same time.

How can I enable the spell check all the time?

I saw some code posted by Terry Wickenden in this newsgroup.
unfortunately his code didn't work for me.

Thanks you in advance,
Eddy

There's this app I wrote a long time ago for a client who uses it to administer the database content that drives their Web site. Last time I was in there' I notices a lot of embarassing typos in the data, and since this data is published on their Web site which is their primary interface to their customers, that's a bad thing. I was thinking it would be nice if I could automatically spell check certain fields, and somehow use the Access...

In VB6, you could set a check box to checked, unchecked, or greyed. The latter would be used to show a setting but disable the control. In .Net, the third choice is not greyed, but indeterminate. And the doc says it shows it as greyed, but checked. So how do you show greyed and unchecked? Disabling the control in total greys out the control's text which is less than desirable.

I haven't been able to find any fixes for this. I have a form with two memo fields. Sometimes when you push the spell check button or press F7 the spell check goes into an infinite loop. If you don't have any misspelled words, it just hangs. If you choose to ignore a misspelled word, it will keep looping and asking you about the word you chose to ignore. If you change that word, access will hang while the spell check continuously...

Is there way to have control over the MS-Access spell checking (besides just launching it)? We want to tell it to check all records, but skip certain fields (or, alternatively, ONLY check certain fields). Is that possible? Alternatively, if that's not, we noticed that the spell checker skips fields that are disabled. So one could disable the fields to be skipped; run the spell checker; and then re-enable those fields when done. But how...

I have a VB program that will be generating documentation that will be stored for 60 years. This program really needs to have spell check and I read the post below on using spell check. I was wondering if there was a way to tap into the Word spell check that shows the underlined spelling errors as the person types. If so, can someone point me to some code to try? It would be really nice to show the errors as they type (like word does)...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents.
