SSN,
Step
1) Download WinGREP tool from www.hurricane.com.
2) Export all objects you want to modify from one PBL to an empty directory
3) Use WinGREP to "String Search & Replace" as required.
4) Re-import all objects back to your library.
5) Empty the directory by deleting the "exported" object files.
6) Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each library you have.
If there anything you would like me to explain, please just let me know ...
