Query sys tables

How do I query system tables to get a list of which forms and reports in a
certain db contain a specific column/field name? Thanks.

You can't query the system tables for this information. In the system table
MSysObjects, you can find the names of all the forms and reports, but not
what fields are used. To do this, you'll have to use code.

Tell me, why do you want to do this? If it's just to find out which forms
and reports are affected by field changes, you should look into a product
called "Find and Replace" by Rick Fisher
(http://www.rickworld.com/download.html). It's shareware, but you get extra
features for the ridiculously low registration fee.
