Is there a way to search through mulitple database for a specific word or
words in code without opening all the databases? I've got more then 8
databases that I need to search through and opening each seperate database is
too time consuming as we plan on doing it more then just 1 time. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sam Mikkalson
 
Hi, Sam.

There's no built-in ability to do this. Use a file search utility to search
through the database files in a specific directory or group of subdirectories
for the specific text. If you have Windows 2000 or earlier, then use the
Windows built-in search utility. If you have Windows XP, then you'll need to
install a third-party search utiility, such as Agent Ransack, to search
through Access database files. Please see the following Web page for the
free download:
