Hi David ---

We are living in a component world. It is not reasonable to expect a spellchecker in a database tool...however, you can always hook into Word's spellchecker. Look at some of the example stuff John Petersen has posted into the files section to import functionality from other applications.


>I am fairly new to VFP5, but I can't believe that in this day and age, one still can't do a spellcheck on an editbox whilst in a form.!! (Or am I wrong and have I missed something?)

I can still remember having to dump all the contents of a dbf's memo fields out to a text file, open a wordprocessor to do all the spell checking, and then import it all back again. It seems that very little has changed.
