Vince, If you're willing to spend a few buck ($25 I think) for a good search tool, I'd recommend Search and Replace from Funduc Software (http://www.funduc.com/search_replace.htm). It's very fast. For searching FoxPro or VFP project files you can specify a file mask like "*.prg; *.spr; *.mpr; *.h;" to avoid searching in the binary files. Of course it works with any other kind of files, too.
