You could license a professional ActiveX component like Tachyon's spellchecker. I found a list here.
If you could demand Microsoft Word installed on the client machine as prerequisit, you could use Word's spell checker:
Dim objWord As Object
Dim objDoc As Object
Dim strResult As String
' // Create a new instance of word Application
Set objWord = CreateObject("word.Application")
Select Case objWord.Version
' // Office 2000
Case "9.0"
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(, , 1, True)
' // Office XP
Case "10.0"
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(, , 1, True)
' // Office 97
Case Else ' Office 97
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add
End Select
objDoc.Content = Text1.Text
objDoc.CheckSpelling
strResult = Left(objDoc.Content, Len(objDoc.Content) - 1)
If Text1.Text = strResult Then
' // There were no spelling errors, so give the user a
' // visual signal that something happened
MsgBox "The spelling check is complete.", vbInformation + vbOKOnly
End If
You can find another good example in this article about how to call the MS Word Spell Checker.
