PMFJI - FWIW: You could probably do the PRGs really easily with a loop using ADIR() to get all PRG names, then FILETOSTR() to open each then STRTRAN() to fix the function names then STRTOFILE() to write them back out. Similar with the Forms, just a loop to get all the file names, open them as tables (USE xxx.Scx) then spin the fields ( FOR ii = 1 to FIELDS() / xx = FIELD(ii) / etc...) with STRTRAN() then close the SCX/table...

Sorry I haven't written a PRG to do this. I use an old DOS Search.Exe (not PD) to do the PRGs for anything like that, and haven't needed to change the SCX or VCX function names in a big way yet...
