Larry, I know it is a PITA, but you can set the forms back to uncompressed (if they are compressed), then in a while loop, set the SYS_DATA to a VarBIt variable and Write it to a TempFile, then set a VARCHAR variable to the disk file and do an SLOC against it to determine if the string exists anywhere in the form in question.
I am thinking that if you carefully back everything up, you can do this process using a SRPL against the VARCHAR data and reverse the process back to a VARBIT and then update the SYS_DATA. This would get you past the drawn out process of doing it in the IDE. Course the Table based RUN SELECTS are a snap doing this.
