Yes, that IS my project.

Unfortunately, there is a bug (not introduced by me) which occasionally screws up code when you use the replace feature.

It is my hope to track down this bug in the near future.

For now, I would recommend avoiding the replace feature (sigh).

Some places that will need to be fixed are the .ControlSource property on many objects, code in methods of forms and classes, and fields in reports. I know this will be a painful process and I am prepared for a lot of manual editing.
