Windows VB6 prog to quickly select & open many (100+) Forms 6

442939Sep 23 2005 — edited Sep 30 2005

I recently did some legacy work on Forms/Reports 6 and needed to global search & replace over 100 Forms 6 and Reports 6 files. This Forms code management issue is over 10 years old, and I am absolutely appalled that I cant find anything to solve this issue anywhere.

So this time I've written my own fix which I now publish as an act of complete contempt toward Oracle for not doing anything about it.

If the Forms/Reports are all open in the Forms/Reports Builder then global search/replace (etc) and just about everything else is easy. But opening them manually is very slow & tedious, and the reason I abandoned Forms 3,4.5,6 development in the first place. So this time I've written a VB6 program/hack that uses sendkeys to open them for me, and now I'm less annoyed with Oracle.
