Find *it* Searches for Database Objects

[jscooper]

Available free from Compudude ( www.compudude.com), Find *it* searches the names of various database objects for the text you specify.

Especially with large solutions, it's often hard to remember what a certain object is named to find it in the various development dialogs. With Find *it*, simply type in a part of an object's name and get a list of everything with that text in the name.

It's also useful when deleting fields since, although you're warned when the field's being used in a script and forbidden from deleting fields used in calculations, FileMaker does not alert you if the field exists on any layout. With Find *it* you can search for the field name and see every layout on which it appears.

Find *it* searches through the names of layouts, value lists (including value list items), table occurances, scripts and fields. When searching for fields, it looks on all layouts, in all relationships and in the default table (the first table created in the file).

Some may recognize that this utility makes use of the built-in FileMaker Pro Design functions. Therefore, no Database Design Report (DDR) is needed.

Requires FileMaker Pro 8.0 or FileMaker Pro 8.0 Adanced.
