Modified Spell Check...

I needed a Spell Check to only check the Notes field as opposed to the whole record.  So I adapted some code generously supplied by Arvin Meyer and tinted the Notes field very pale cream and added a line to the below code...
Adjusted to handle Main form / Subform scenario...
The difficult I do immediately, the impossible takes a little bit longer.
Public Function fSpell()

'Amit modified with the help of Marsh [Access VP] for subforms 10.14.2005
'Gina added the ability to check spelling based on .BackColor
Dim ctlSpell, sf_ctlSpell As Control
'Added sf_ctlSpell to refer to subform controls
Dim frm As Form
Set frm = Screen.ActiveForm
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
'Enumerate Controls collection
For Each ctlSpell In frm.Controls
     If TypeOf ctlSpell Is TextBox Then
          If ctlSpell.BackColor = 15400959 Then  'Pale Cream
        If Len(ctlSpell) > 0 Then
             With ctlSpell
             .SetFocus
             .SelStart = 0
             .SelLength = Len(ctlSpell)
