Hello,

I have my system broken into about 30 include files now.  Now I must  
get around a problem that is one of the reasons I resisted using many  
includes for so long --editing the same content across all includes.

Let's say that I decide I want to change the name of a variable to a  
more descriptive name -- like RibSel to RibSelMenuOpen.  If everything  
is one file, I just search and replace every one.  However, if the  
locations are spread across some unknown number of my include files,  
how do I manage to do this operation simply?

The task is made harder because the formula editor search dialog data  
does not transfer to another open formula editor file.  Currently I am  
finding myself opening each include and pasting the search name over  
again, and typing in the changed name again.  Very time consuming  
considering how many variables I change the names of after I get  
something working.  I make something work with short names then clean  
up the final code with self documenting names when I can think of a  
better name.

How do others solve this problem?

Best regards,
Dennis
