    Remove all Smart Tags

    Hi there



    I have an Access template I downloaded which has smart tags. I want to remove all smart tags all of the forms but have no idea how.

    It must remove all tags as other users will be using the same database on different pc's. So mustn't be a local client setting.

    Thanks in advance

    Two possible methods:

    1. VBA code that will cycle through all forms and all controls and modify the Tag property. This thread has example for change same property on multiple forms. Would have to expand that with an inner loop to change property for all controls on form. Check out.

    2. Use search and replace third party software. I use Rick Fisher's Find & Replace (cost about $50). However, never used it to search control property, nor ever tried a wildcard search, which would be required to replace [any value] with an empty string.
