Outlook Automation Spellcheck

[zoroaster]

Just a quickie:

I'm doing automation to send an Outlook email from Access, and I'm sure I've seen somewhere with the Object.Send a property that allows you to turn off the automatic spellcheck on send, but can't find it after searching these pages for some 20 minutes - anyone know what it is?

I don't think the Outlook object model exposes the application options, but you might try manipulating the registry setting which will be located under a key like this (version may differ):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Options\Spelling\Check=dword:00000001

If you toggle the value to 0 the option should be turned off. I haven't tried to do it so I'm not sure if the option would have to be changed before outlook is opened in order for the change to take affect.

Thanks VBSlammer, that's a little more involved than I was looking to get!
I honestly thought I'd seen something like:

objEmail.Send acSpelling=false

or something similar, but perhaps my memory's confused with another method of sending - judging by the trouble I've had trying to track down the bit of code or property I was thinking of it must be...
