>In C++ '\f' is formfeed - New page - CHR(12) in VFP. You're correct that VFP search textbox understands some C++ escape sequences including '\\' which represents a single backslash. I would call it rather undocumented feature than a bug. I use it sometimes to insert tabs or new lines in a text.
Sergey, thanks! You're right it is an undocumented feature rather than a bug. They are actually quite useful at times. I was able to do the search when I added another "\" in front of "\f" like this "forms\\fmusers.*" to escape the "\f".
