    Is there a dictionary that comes with windows or something?
    I need a dictionary and I'm not in the mood to start typing it.

    None builtin

    I am pretty sure that there is nothing built into Windows or VB.

    Word processors have dictionaries to support their spell check & thesaurus functions. I have no idea how you would use them from VB.

    There are various dictionary applications available on CD which cost less than $30.00 (I got American Heritage Talking Dictionary at a computer show for $10.00). Once again, I do not know how you would use one of them from a VB App.

    Perhaps you could investigate the files associated with the above applications and figure something out.
