I do not think there is. But when I needed to search through forms, classes, etc., for particular strings, I did the following:
lnRetVal = adir(aForms, "*.SCX")
for j = 1 to lnRetVal
lcForm = aForms(j,1)
use (lcForm) excl
for i = 1 to fcount()
if type(field(i)) = "M"
locate for "SOME_VALUE" $upper(field(i))
do while !eof()
_do_what_you_want_here_
continue
enddo
endif
endfor
endfor
