Duffbert's Random Musings

1 - Would it be possible to set a field called $AutoSpell to a value of "0" before saving the document in your VBA code?

2 - NO, don't tell me that. It's not good news as the stuff I want to send wont pass a spell check.

Thanks for the update however.

3 - Any chance someone could give me a cluse on doing this from VBA. (I have an EXCEL application that sends out emails and I've got everything to work so far except it wants to spell check the documents on some users setups. I don't wnt to or need to.

I'll keep working through the limited doc I have but any help would be appreciated.

I think I'm missing something basic so be gentle with me.

Thanks in advance.

4 - Apparently in my initial observation, I assumed too much about the function's behavior, believing the Lotus developers treated that field like every other text boolean flag they have.

If you (a given user) have AutoSpell turned on in your mailfile preferences and you load into the client UI a message (stationary, draft, whatever) with $AutoSpell="0" as an item, the value is overwritten with "1" to match your user preference.

It's probably buried deep in one of those script libraries as a cursory glance wasn't able to track it down. So apparently you can't override a given user's preference to AutoSpellcheck with the field. Sorry.

5 - This was/is my plan. However I've not been able to do so yet. I hope to get a chance to investigate properly over the next couple of days. (my problem is I don't really know lotus notes API all that well so as soon somethning goes wrong I'm stuck. Anyway working on it an any suggestions are welcome - looks like that maybe I'm on the right track.
