[AccessD] Find Text In Code Programmatically

I started a thread very similar to this about 7 months ago...I don't remember the subject...but I wanted to do something similar.  I have a MDB I work on every few months adding features...It will search docs for text...it will search your computer/folder for all access databases...and store them in a table with size, location, dates.  Another version will list all objects in each database.

Also it will use the list of MDBs it found and search the modules(forms and reports included) for a text string.  It has some issues with databases that have passwords...but typically gets what I need.  I don't have a finished product to send out...but here is the code I use to search the VBA of other MDBs...most of this was gleaned from the web in different pieces...alot is commented out...and not really documented.

Hope it helps,

Mark A. Matte
