Find and Replace 2.0 Version History

ver 2.07n 11/14/00 Fixed a problem when multiple Findspecs have different selections for the Whole Word option. Prior to this fix, when searching within code (modules and Code-Behind-Forms) the search was using the value of the WholeWord option of whatever Findspec was displayed at the time the search was started (i.e. using that value for all FindSpecs). Worked around gpf with low memory caused by Access.

ver 2.07m 06/27/00 Added Format and InputMask properties to form searches when "Other Properties" selected under Form and Report options. For registered versions, added InputMask property of fields to table searches. Enhanced Document Like spec (see Specifying Where to Search ) to allow multiple specs and "not like". Fixed problem with early expiration of Beta features; extended beta expiration. Fixed problem when search of queries done via the Name Builder feature. Fixed problem with logging "Debug Warning #1" (occurred when modifications were made to a source table of a linked table). Fixed problem where brackets were added in replacement erroneously. Added Options button. Updated order form. Other minor changes.

ver 2.07k 8/20/98 Miscellaneous minor bug fixes, enhancements. For registered versions, added Format property of Fields to table searches (don't have to use custom properties now).

ver 2.07h 1/22/98 Year 2000 compliancy issues addressed. Miscellaneous minor bug fixes, enhancements. When tables are re-attached because of a replace in the table connect property security settings will now be maintained (unlike standard Access re-attachments). Can now change SourceTableName of an attached table and table will be re-attached (to the new table name). Fixed problem occurring with Hebrew Language version of Access. Beta test of Set Control Property Wizard.

ver 2.07g 6/26/97 Fixed bug causing search to abort in modules with an error retrieving Find Specs.

ver 2.07f 4/22/97 Fixed bug in name builder (causing it to abort with an error message) when changing control names on a report. Fixed bug in Clean-up to Proper Case option causing infinite loop in some special cases. Cross-reference style reports now supported for any search (with logging enabled). Enhanced cross-reference report. Enhanced module search support for unsupported languages. Added support for Finnish version of Access. Replace dialog form may now be sized and the make additional changes control expands/contracts accordingly. Beta test of module variable report (new cross-reference feature).

ver 2.07e 9/29/96 Corrected logging of Table Index matches (it now says it is an index as opposed to a field). Table validation rule is now searched/changed after fields (so the rule won't be rejected when changing field names). Renamed "Type fBuffer" to avoid compile error problems with user code. Fixed bug in control name change builder (bug was introduced in version 2.07c) causing subscript out of range error. Significantly improved the speed of the control name change builder. Improved the speed of single object searches. Improved form/report caching speed somewhat. Improved detection of when additional brackets are required on name changes.

ver 2.07d 9/06/96 Added "Search user-specified properties" option that applies to Forms, Reports, Tables, and Queries. This replaces the "Custom" option that applied only to Forms and Reports.

Worked around rare Access GPF when searching queries. Added to search two event properties that were erroneously left out: OnMouseMove for a Form (this event was searched for a control), and OnUpdated for a control. Code searches now put proper procedure name in log when the procedure is static or private. Fixed proper case cleanup. Added Cancel (abort) option to some error message dialogs. Excluded queries named like "~tmp*" from search. Form/Report section name changes now propagate to event procedures. Other miscellaneous changes.

Added support for Norwegian language version.

ver 2.05d 1/10/95 Added support for Italian Language version. Added capability to source Find/Replace Specs from a table. Attached table field names are now searched (but replace is disallowed since these types of changes must be performed in the source database).
