Excel VBA - Form Textboxes - spellchecking

Excel VBA - Form Textboxes - spellchecking

Excel VBA - Form Textboxes - spellchecking

(OP)
Hi,
Ive programmed a Form in Excel with (amoungst combo boxes etc) which 'data links' to a specific cell containing in the Excel spreadsheet ('Field' in Access).  The form acts as a User Interface and works well - you can navigate between each row (record) and add/delete/amend data and data validation can be carried out programatically.  However I want to spell-check the text entered into the text box by the user, using a command button on the form. Is this possible in Excel.  If so how do you do it?
Please help.  Best regards.
Mike

RE: Excel VBA - Form Textboxes - spellchecking

Use VBA's object browser and look for a "range" object.  This object has a method called "checkspelling".  You will most likely have to copy the textbox text to a cell, check the spelling, and then copy this back to the textbox.
