[AccessD] Fisher Find & Replace

I've used F&R for years - perhaps the most useful utility I have ever found.

But it does have some limitations.  Like changing certain properties like
back color or font.

For those kinds of global changes I found it much easier to loop through all
the forms, then all the controls on each form and modifying the ones I
wanted to change. I think I may still have some code somewhere but it's not
many lines - just a couple of tight loops and some if's to test the control
type.

Hi Listers,

 

I Have Rick's Find and Replace version 9.00k.  I need to change the form
section (header and detail) background colors for all the forms in my Access
2010 database.

 

I have tried playing with the Search User Specified Properties section but
am not coming up with any matches (let alone being able to change them).

 

The objective is to eventually replace several control fields with Theme
colours.

 

Does anyone have any pointers?
