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.

Did not know about the %<string>% syntax - that works!  thanks!
