>This is not really a VFP question but it's related. In windows, the search function allows to search for a word inside a file. I used it very often in windows 2000 to find out every forms or program that contains a specific word (ex: a table name or a field name or a command I wanted to replace). Now I have XPPro and this function doesn't work anymore. It seems XPPRo won't look into VFP fiels (it seems to work only with .txt and .doc and similar files).

Including VFP files need the VFP extensions be added for search. I don't know the author to credit :( this .bat file takes care of it :

* registervfpextensions.bat

@echo off
setlocal
if {%1}=={} goto syntax
set ext=%1
if {%ext:~0,1%} NEQ {.} goto syntax
@echo REGEDIT4>"%TEMP%\RegisterPTFwrk.REG"
@echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\%ext%\PersistentHandler]>>"%TEMP%\RegisterPTFwrk.REG"
@echo @="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}">>"%TEMP%\RegisterPTFwrk.REG"
:loop
shift
if {%1}=={} goto :done
set ext=%1
if {%ext:~0,1%} NEQ {.} goto syntax
@echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\%ext%\PersistentHandler]>>"%TEMP%\RegisterPTFwrk.REG"
@echo @="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}">>"%TEMP%\RegisterPTFwrk.REG"
goto loop
:syntax
@echo Syntax: RegisterPTF .ex1 [.ex2] [.ex3] ... [.exn]&goto :EOF
endlocal
goto :EOF
:done
rem regedit /s "%TEMP%\RegisterPTFwrk.REG"
endlocal

OTOH when there is code references in VFP8 and up and filer in all VFP versions I don't even use this:

do form home()+'tools\filer\filer'

does it well.
