Product Guide for Total Access Speller
How many times has this happened to you?
You spend days, even weeks, working on Microsoft Access forms and reports. You
check and re-check and make sure every button works, and every report is
complete and accurate. The big day comes. You show your application to
users, or send reports out to the company. And all that people remember
is the spelling error you missed.
Total Access Speller is an add-in for Microsoft Access that makes it easy
to spell check your object properties and designs. Although Microsoft Access
includes a spell checker, it only handles data in tables. What about typos
in your forms, reports, labels, captions, and validation text? No matter how
much work you do to make your Access applications fast and reliable, if
there are typos in your user interface or on your reports that is what your
users (and your boss) will remember.
Total Access Speller solves this problem by providing an easy-to-use
wizard that allows you to spell check all properties that can contain text.
Total Access Speller uses the Microsoft Office spell checker so your
language and custom dictionaries are available. What’s more, Total Access
Speller can automatically write spell check changes back to most object
types automatically. There is simply no better way to ensure the
professional quality of your Access applications.
Ensure Professional Applications
Creating Access applications takes time and effort. To create
professional reliable applications, you spend time creating a data design,
implementing tables and queries to drive data, and forms and reports to
present that data to users. But no matter how much time you spend on design,
performance optimization, coding and testing, all it takes is a few typos in
critical areas and your application looks less than professional.
Performing spell checking manually takes forever and is prone to errors.
And since Microsoft Access can only spell check data in tables, you are on
your own in performing this critical quality check on your applications.
Total Access Speller solves this problem by providing an automated spell
checking solution for Microsoft Access.
How it Works
Total Access Speller is implemented as a Microsoft Access add-in. Simply
open your database, and select Total Access Speller from the Add-ins menu.
The wizard form appears, making it easy to select the objects you want,
perform spell checking, and save your results.
Total Access Speller performs spell checking on properties for the
following object types:
- Tables and table fields
- Queries and query fields
- Forms and form controls
- Reports and report controls
- Macros including embedded macros
- Command bars
The built-in list of properties covers all properties that can contain
text that appears in your application’s user interface, and you can enable
or disable properties or add your own. With Total Access Speller, you are in
complete control of spell checking.
Special Handling for HotKeys in Captions
Labels associated with form controls often have "&" to designate shortcut
hotkeys. That can be in the middle of a word which would normally confuse a
spell checker. Total Access Speller takes this into account to let you spell
check the "true" word, then preserves your hotkey letter.
Applying Changes
After reviewing all the text for spelling, Total Access Speller writes
your updates back to your database. A set of reports are available to
document:
- Changes you attempted
- Changes that were successfully applied
- Changes that failed (maybe due to validation rules)
- Changes that have to be manually made (for instance, Access security
prevents automated updates of macros)
- Any lost hotkeys if your change results in an existing hotkey letter
to no longer exist in the caption
100% Guaranteed
Total Access Speller is 100% guaranteed to pay for itself the first time
you use it. You will quickly find spelling errors in your applications that
are easy to fix. And when you distribute your applications, you can do so
knowing that there aren’t any typos! If you are not completely satisfied
with Total Access Speller, return it for a complete refund.
