David, you can only use the VFP spell checker with VFP - it cannot be distributed with an application. Either link to Word or another word processor or buy one of the available 3rd party spell checkers like FoxSpell.

>I have a dbf file of about 4000 records of product details such as code, item name, price, details(memo). Each product has about 3 or 4 sentences of detail in the memo field, describing the product.
>
>I have my own application with a form which I run in VFP5, and I want to be able to spell check these memo fields as I view them or change them on the form.
>
>The form has and editbox which displays the memo field called 'detail'.
>I don't seem to be able to get the built in VFP spellchecker to check the editbox for spelling. (I have Spelling included in my menu).
>
>The only solution I have been able to come up with is to place a command button (caption "spelling") on my form next to the edit box. In the click event I have placed the following code:
>
>modi memo detail
>this.parent.edtdetail.refresh
>
>This then brings up the memo field details in a window, and I am able to use a menu short cut key (such as alt+z) to invoke the VFP spellchecker. When the spellcheck is finished, I close the edit window, and the forms editbox gets refreshed to reflect the changes.
