[AccessD] Rick Fisher's Find and Replace

[David Emerson]

Hi Listers,

I have been able to get Rick's Find and Replace working on a Windows 10
machine by copying the files into a folder separate from the Windows program
file folders (eg C:\Find and Replace).  I also copied the repl9.ini file
from my previous working installation - this stores the registration
information.  Apart from a warning that my version has not been tested with
Access 16 I have full functionality.

Reading the Readme.txt file, I may have installed it, then overwritten the
repl9.ini file with my copy from a working version.  Of coursed you will
need to use the same original name you registered with.

Open the repl9.ini file in notepad and check that the paths are correct for
your new location.

Can't guarantee that this will help but just some thoughts.

Regards

Rocky/John,

Philipp Stiefel has and sells a Find and Replace
<https://accessdevtools.com/product/find-and-replace/> and offers a free
trial. I haven't used it, but I have followed Phil S on youtube and UA and
AWF. I know he is an active Access developer.
