>>For instance, say I'm trying to locate where an object (myForm, say) is instantiated. I'd like to do a 'find in project' or 'find in files' to search on the word myForm. Let's say it is found in a menu and another object, I'd like a list of the hits and the ability to double click on each and open the menu or object.

>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")   && *.VCX for classes, *.PJX for projects
>for j = 1 to lnRetVal
>    lcForm = aForms(j,1)
>    use (lcForm) excl

>        if type(field(i)) = "M"  && because info is usually in memo fields
>           locate for "SOME_VALUE" $upper(field(i))
>           do while !eof()

There is a program called VersaTools from VersaTech Software (versasoft.com) that does exactly what you're requesting. It has some other cool features too.

Good Luck!
