Disable spell-checker in MS Access Run-time

Hi all,

I am a MS Access developer using VB 6 (yes, I know it is a bit
old). The problem I am having is, I have a software that allows my
customers to put in the information of their clients. A client of one
of my customer has a last name of "Cotten". Whenever they put in the
last name as "Cotten", the spell checker automatically converts it to
"Cotton". The thing is, I am sending them the run-time version of
Access. Many of my customers do not even have the full version of MS
Access; and because of that, they won't even be able to open up spell
checker in Access. My quesiton is, is there a way to use VB code to
disable spell checker?

Thanks in advance,
Monte

On a per-control basis you can set AllowAutoCorrec t to No.

At their end they can disable that specific AutoCorrect in either Excel or Word
because the Spell Checker is common across all Office apps.

Actually, that's not the spell checker, but a feature called Name
Autocorrect which you can easily turn off under the Tools menu.
That's a good idea for other reasons as well, see:

I believe spelling AutoCorrect and Name AutoCorrect are two completely different
things. Name Autocorrect does not affect data, but names of objects. His
problem is caused by spelling AutoCorrect.
