This is an editbox class that when double clicked launches word, passes the contents of the editbox and runs spellcheck. Upon completion of spellchecking, control is passed back to VFP and word is never accessible to the user. Word is not launched in a seperate window, but occurs in the editbox. I would like to thank John Petersen for cleaning up my code and making it workable. I have a version already that incorporates rightmouse click menuing, but have more work to do on it. Hopefully, I'll have that finished next week.
