    Resolved [RESOLVED] Find something in projects

    I am using VB6.
    Is there any way to search a string or text within an entire solution?

    Usually it can be found in a project or a module or a procedule by clicking "ctrl + F". But I have a lot of projects, it is inconvincent to do one by one.


    Thanks for your time.

    The best you can do is to use Windows' Start|Search for your string with some file name filter like *.frm

    If the projects are all in the same project group, you can use an addin for searching the whole group - MZTools (link in my signature) has a very good search function which includes that feature.
