If you have the Plugin Power Pack, there is the RFormPacker.rbl program to uncompress/compress all the forms at once. Then you can do your queries on the SYS_Forms3 table.
Just run it again to re-compress all the forms.

The search won't work if your forms are compressed, nor can you edit the form description directly in the sys_forms3 table if they are. If you want to mess around in the sys_forms table, you should liken it to messing with the registry of your computer. If you inadvertenly press a key or space somewhere by accident, you can seriously <insert your own 4,5 or 6 letter verb here> your form up. The tool that is provided in the form designer was intended for either documenting or searching the eep code. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MDRD" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 1:42 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Searching the Form EEPS... > Albert > > Strange, some times I get lots of rows other searches I only get 2. > Are the Custom Form actions stored in another column? > I think I should get more hits on that one search. > > Thanks > Marc > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Albert Berry" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 11:42 AM > To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> > Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Searching the Form EEPS... > >> Try variations on this: >> sele * from sys_forms3 where sys_data like "%invoice%" >> Albert >> >> MDRD wrote: >>> Hi Paul >>> I may try that but I thought there was a way to >>> search the Sys_forms table? >>> thanks Marc >>> >> >> > >
