Is there a way to conduct a search of all prgs in a project for a certain string? I have a procedure that locks a users record when users log in, and the lock was being removed by a program that I have that did an unlock all. I knew what was happening, but wasn't sure which program had this line, so I had to open up all suspect programs one at a time and do an edit find for "unlock". This search would have been quicker had I been able to search all prgs at the same time for this string and identified the program that I needed to modify. Also, can a search be done on forms this way as well. Thanks! john. [ and GMRIDER added: ] Look for a utility called GREP - a carry over from UNIX world. There is a version available for almost all operating systems, and is ESSENTIAL for this kind of thing. Also, in Windows95 and NT, use the File Find function off the Start button - it can search for text strings within specified file including *.* or in this case *.prg... good luck!!
