At this point - I'm just going to have the users drop that OCX file on
to their PC's. And, although I too would like to revamp the spell
checker a bit - I just don't have the time to do any major overhaul of
it now. I tend to work on this little App of mine (which I call Mr.
TimeTracker - since the co. used to be called Mr. Software - if you can
believe it - and they also have an app called Mr. AR - into which I will
eventually 'push' the data from my App - but, that is on down the line a
bit) in between projects for clients.

L8r!

Subject: RE: A Spell Checker for a VFP EditBox?

Kurt,

We experienced similar OCX problems when we released our app outside our
development labs.

We ended up dropping the OCX entirely (pretty as it was) and writing a
VFP form that displayed errors in context in a regular readonly edit
box. Instead of color coding errors in context, we surrounded
unrecognized words with '--->' and '<---' markers. Not as pretty, but
effective.

Its been years since we did this and I seem to remember the task of
building the VFP form to display errors in context and allow users to
edit/auto-correct errors took much, much longer than we originally
thought.

Good luck!

Malcolm
