Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] Spell Check using Access Runtime

Hi Bill,

This would probably be a non-issue if they had never had full MS Access installed.  We went from an on-site app under full MS Access to a RDP?VM with RT.  I'll figure it out.  Thanks for your help,

 

Bill

Bill – it might be something that is just overkill. I've never relied on it. Most applications don't. Web apps are heavily spell checked just by their very reliance on web spell checkers.

 

My question is, do you really need this?

Hi Bill and Arnelito,

 

Thanks for the input.  Working on speller piece for checking form notes only under RT.  Problem with speller in Access is that it checks all fields on a form so it's pretty useless anyway.

Hi Bill

 

Unfortunately, Access Runtime is devoid of all MS Office interfaces so it can't use the Word spell checker or export to Excel among other things. There might be third-party add-ins or websites that could be used with API calls, but I am not aware of them. And even if they existed, they would probably slow down your application.

 

What I would do if you have coded your application to do spell checks is to first use code to check the Access version, and if it is a runtime, skip the check.

 

And I remember V 2.0. What a gem that one was. I wrote a financial reporting app using 2.0 that did some pretty awesome things, pulling data from several sources to combine into executive reports. But when I converted it to  2000 I was able to cut processing time from 2 days of hands-on processing to 10 minutes of pure code action. Only one button to click!

 

Regards,

Bill Mosca

Hi All,

Anyone figured out how to implement spell check when using MS Access Runtime?
