1. What is her tool called? I looked around VFPX, but didn't see anything.

2. Jim Nelson said you had given him an example of a form that had problems when you try to do a search-and-replace on it with Code Refences.. Can you give us that form again (he can't find it). I want to see if I can find out what makes it fail. If I am going to use Code References, I need to know that it is reliable.
