Hi,

If you are referring to checking for syntax errors in calculations, filters etc, then there is a validate button (green tick) you can use when defining these (but be aware that the validate button for variable expressions will always return 'no errors' whatever the expression - this "feature" is sorted in Cognos 8 ).

For checking spelling of text items etc, I don't think so.Ã,  Of course there would be the option of copying the report specification to the clipboard from Report Studio, then pasting it into a word processor to do a spellcheck there, but I imagine many of the xml tags would class as misspelled words, so it would be horrible...

Best regards,

MF.

You never responded to what you are trying to spell check.

I would suggest the SDK is the only viable option.
