How can I find all instances of "tblCFClientCha nges" in an Access 97 database?

[MLH]

Mainly, I want to search the saved queries.
I don't want to replace them. I just want to find them.

failing that, you could loop through the SQL property of all your
queries and use InStr and Replace and all that, but that's probably a
huge pain.

Couldn't live without it.

In addition to the Find & Replace, you can try the Search function of
mztools: www.mztools.com. It does a fine job and you can't beat the price.

I've used this a lot...

Dim qd as dao.querydef
dim sFind as string
sFind = "tblCPCLientCha nges"

For each qd in currentdb.query defs
if instr(1, qd.sql, sfind, vbTextCompare) > 0 then
debug.print qd.name
end if
next qd

This also check rowsources for listboxes and combo boxes and they are
querydefs also. Be careful - if you have tables or other text that include
the string you're searching for, such as tblCPCLientChan gesDetail, this will
return a positive result. You can change sFind to

sFind = "tblCPCLientCha nges "
or
sFind = "tblCPCLientCha nges."
or
sFind = "[tblCPCLientChan ges]"

That takes care of queries. There are third party software packages that
analyze Access databases, such as FMS software. There are also tools in
later versions of access that convert macros to modules. I think you can
still open a module in '97 as

dim doc as document
set doc currentdb.conta iners("Modules" ).document ("document" is the
module name)

and read line by liine and do the same search string.

Good luck.

Thanks, Matthew. Do you know if this
will work for me in Access 2.0?
