I have a big db (access 2007) that I need to search for specific text strings. Need to search tables, queries, macros, everything. Also would need the search results to show me where exactly the text string I searched for resides.

I'm trying to standardize my data and that involves changing a whole lot of current data.

So, tek-tips brethren, can you guys tell me if there is a way I can search my entire db for certain text strings and have it tell me every instance of it being used, so when I do change it,I can change it everywhere so it doesn't break everything.

I thought there would be a native add-in for this sort of thing, but I've searched the internets to no avail.

Thanks for your help guys!
