Spell Check - Restrict To Only One Record?

5
I have recently upgraded to Access 2002 and when I run the macro
-> run command -> spelling
on a form it checks all records rather than just the current record. When you have over 30,000 records this can be quite time consuming and annoying. Is there any way I can restrict it to check the current record only?
I have tried to apply a filter to the auto number and then run the macro, however when the filter is removed I am returned to the first record rather than where I was. Again with so many records it makes it diffiult to find where one was.

You could put

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling

in the forms Before Update event, or you could choose to spell check only certain fields.

Try to select the record before run the spell checker!

In word there is the habit to check first the selected section and than pass to the rest of the things if you confirm.

If Microsoft keeps the logic it should be same!
