Find in Expressions

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The "Find in Expressions" feature opens a search utility to locate specific text defined within the form, report, and label expressions for the connected database. The functionality to search for text within expressions allows users to locate specific columns, tables, functions, variables, and any part of a WHERE Clause. Any text defined within an expression will be used in the search.

 

When searching for text within expressions, text strings can be located within the following modules:

 

Forms

Reports

Labels

 

To begin searching, press the [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[F] key combination to display the "Find in Expressions" dialog. Searching for text can include all listed items displayed at the Database Explorer, or just a selected few. For example, selecting fifteen out of fifty reports, and then pressing [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[F] will search for the text for all expressions within the fifteen selected reports.

 

The "Find in Expressions" dialog can only be launched from the Database Explorer.
