Default Search for tables/queries

Rather than open and close a tonne of databases, is there anyway within
access or Windows to search for tables/queries if I have a vague idea of the
titles, modification dates etc?

Hi Andy,


You would need to write a piece of code that scans the HDD for *.mdb, bring
back the results, open each one in code and then do whatever searches you
want, there maybe a 3rd party tool for doing so, but the complexity of
database structures would make the task difficult.
