I just discovered that the F7 key works in Access as a spelling check.
However, I am having trouble controlling it. We have an Access 2000
application and I am attempting to use it on a form that has several tabs
and multiple note fields. When I use F7 it seems hard to stop it from not
only jumping from one text box to another but also from record to record.

I would like to force it to stop on just on just one text box, not jump
around so much. Is there any configuration settings to control this? As an
alternative, I may right some code to pop up a window to spell check the
current text and then save it back to the parent form. What would the code
be to identify both the current form and current text box that has focus?
