    Find multiple words within Code


    Hello!

    Basically, I need to run through many Access databases see if they use the certain words.

    I tried using Find function but it only seem to look for 1 word at a time.

    Is there any way to search through all the codes (Form codes, modules etc) for a list of words? Can it be done programmatically?

    eg. I wish to look for any existance of word Dog, Cat, Cow within this application code.

    I suppose could be done with elaborate code. Would still have to break up the string into distinct values to search for, unless it really is the string "Dog, Cat, Cow" that you want to find.

    I use Rick Fisher's Find/Replace add-in to search project. Even with that tool can search only one string at a time. Costs about $50 if you want to check it out.
