Looking for my own code!

[Dave]

This may not be strictly an Access question, but it is embarrassing
nonetheless! I know I wrote some code that I want to retrieve but have
not been able to find it amongst the flash drives, home and office
PC's and multiple network drives. Does anyone know of a utility that
will search within directories and MS Access files for keywords within
code modules? Or how about within table records? I thought I'd never
use the code again, but now I have the urge to work out the bugs in
it. Any suggestions for the immediate problem? Guess I learned a
lesson...find a place to keep ALL designs where I don't have to worry
about network space limitations!

What's your budget? There are commercial documenter tools available out
there (e.g., FMS's Total Access; Black Moshannon's Speed Ferret).

If your budget is $0, there are free documenters available (check Jeff
Conrad's).

Good luck!

I installed Jeff's documenter...looks like a very slick and useful
tool that I will probably use down the road. For my current need, it's
just as easy to look for my "references" table seeing as how I have to
open the database to use the add-in anyway. I opened everything I
could find in Windows Explorer to no avail, so it's time to start
over. No big deal. Thanks for the help!
