Good Morning Kurt: In my apps I use Foxspell. It works super in VFP 6,8, and 9. See http://www.hallogram.com/foxspell/ I think it is $250. I have used it for 11 years. It is written in 100% Foxpro code. You get the source code. I have modified it for the look and feel of my apps. It has never crashed or given me any grief! Regards,

Hey there folks, OK - here's the deal. I've recently been working on this little application - that is used internally at the company here - to track the time that people are working on tasks. The QA Tech's and some of us programmers - all have to write up these slipsheets to account for everything we do each day - and then our boss decides what is billable - so he can bill the clients. I initially started building this app just for me - as it originally started out as a single DBF and a single Report form (since, previously - I was typing ALL my tasks for every minute of Every day into my Outlook calendar - so, all I needed to do was cut&paste from Outlook into my DBF and print up the slipsheets). But, since it has started to grow into a full fledged app - and I have already started releasing for usage by some of the QA Tech's - now they all keep asking for more, More and MORE! And - you guessed it - the recent request, which they are practically begging for - is a Spell Checker - since so many of them are bad at spelling. Now - I looked thru my e-mail archives and found that there was a discussion thread on this exact topic back in Dec. 2008, as follows: > On Wed, December 10, 2008 7:20 am, Richard Kaye wrote: >> The subject says it all.

Are those the only options - to buy SW like what's mentioned in those links? A quick perusal showed that the one option would cost like $450 on WinterTree. And, I know this co. where I work will NOT cough up the bucks for a Spell Checker. As such - is there any free options? Thanks in advance for any help! Kurt Developer Mr. Software of East Coast, Inc.
