The idea is to scan all SCX files opened as tables and search properties field for 'ControlSource' substring. The complexity here is depended on what exactly you want to scan: All ControlSource values (simple) or with exceptions, say, do not include grid controls and read-only/disabled controls etc.; filter to some control type only, for example, you can have custom image control with control source property, but it is not worth to include into your list in dbf.

There are two other methods to achieve the same functionality:
1) Just navigate through form controls and check, if type("loControl.ControlSource")="C", etc.
2) You the idea, I got from Trey Walpole, e.g.
Form.SetAll('lRetrieveSource',.t.)
Add property lRetrieveSource to the classes, you want to retrieve source.
Add method RetrieveSource with the needed code.
Add assign method to this property with the following code:
lparameters vNewVal
with this
.lRetrieveSource = m.vNewVal
if m.vNewVal
.RetrieveSource()
endif
endwith
May be this is not efficient for this particular task, but you can use this idea for something else. I really like this idea (if you want to execute some code for all your objects you can add some property to this object and give it assign method).

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
