Hi - I'm using 2.1.5d   I thought Reports -> Database where used
would tell me where a string is used, but recently it doesn't provide
any useful information- it just lists the string over and over as MACRO
DETAIL and SEQUENCE <#>   Am I missing something silly? I
thought it used to tell you all the Macros, triggers, etc, where a string
was used.   Thanks!

Jeff,

It should be working (even in 2.1.5d). What are you using for the search string?

Let me know and I can provide more info.

Thanks,

Dave.

Thanks Dave - it's on Macro Names that I'm striking out. (maybe it
doesn't search formulas?)

Not sure what the problem would be. Are you using wilcards? Essentially, ALL string fields including ID, Description, and Formulas
should be searched.

If you have a macro called MYMACRO, you should use a search string of %MYMACRO% and it should find it in any formula.

Dave.
