[AccessD] Rick Fisher's Find and Replace

[Jim Dettman]

 Numerous people have tried to get ahold of Rick over the years and continue
to support F&R.

 I think the last anyone had contact with him was over five years ago, and
he had no interest in passing it on.  Said he was too embarrassed by the
code.   

 I don't understand why.   It is a fantastic product and has served so many.
It's been a wonderful asset to the Access community for a very long time. I
don't know of any professional Access developer that wasn't aware of it.

 FWIW, there are other newer F&R's out there that work on everything and
support 64 bit as well.

Jim.

LOL I hear ya about answering the email.

I poked around with the physical address on the web site.  It sold for
millions twice in the last 10 years.

Further I found Rick Fisher at that address on a family tree app.  If this
is him (and it is for that address), Rick is 79 years old.  If true he may
have "declined" and be unable to do anything meaningful.  If it is him I
find what appear to be kids and grandkids, even some phone numbers.

But really what's the point.  The source is probably on a hard drive in the
landfill.
