Forms binary source (.FMB) can be converted to the system independant text format (.FMT) which could then be used for searching. It can be changed but one must be extremely cautious in that the correct syntax must be followed very closely. The text format would then have to be re-converted back to binary from which the final executable can be generated.

The conversion facilities are under the Administration sub-menu for Forms 4.5.
