The MS search facility has an option to include content
So maybe copy the probable source files into a work folder and have that indexed
- or maybe just "Search" and include the content.

But that will probably be defeated by encryption for the security of your code.

Subject: [AccessD] Search multiple MDB/ACCDB files at once?

Is there some way (or tool) that can search multiple Access files at once
for the name of some object (form, query, report, table) by name?
The reason I ask is because in moving an app from 32- to 64-bit, for some
reason the migration is never quite complete, and I have no idea why. I
have numerous backups and never thought I'd say it, but the sheer number of
them is overwhelming. Searching them one by one could take all weekend.
