Is there a way to search mdb files for query names from Windows Explorer?

"...mdb files..." are Access databases/applications, and are self-contained. I'm not familiar with a way to use Windows Explorer to "look inside" Access ..mdb files to find query names. You've described more a "how" you want to do something. If you describe what you want to accomplish, the newsgroup readers may be able to offer an alternate approach.

Searching mdbs for queries
Thank you, Jeff.
What I want to accomplish is to find a series of queries that are contained within an unknown mdb, somewhere on given hard drive. I know the names of the queries, but not the mdb, just the hard drive it resides on. Evidently, I can't do a string search on mdb's via Windows Explorer. There has to be another way, outside of the hindsight of tracking. -- Harry E Vermillion IT2 Division of Wildlife State of Colorado "Jeff Boyce" wrote: Harry "...mdb files..." are Access databases/applications, and are self-contained.

You could consider picking up one of the "analyzer" programs available for Access (paid ones include FMS, Inc's Total Access Analyzer, or Black Moshannon's Speed Ferret). These should give you a way to search for a query inside the .mdb files ... but you'd probably need to do this for each one.
