Know Problems / Bugs

Here is a list of know existing problems or bugs with/in Find and Replace.

• Linked Tables: Find and Replace does not search in linked tables. This is not a bug but was a deliberate design decision to avoid several potential problems in that context. Searching in linked tables was added in version 1.0.17
• Out-of-Memory Exception: When searching in very large databases (1000+ objects) you might experience Out-of-Memory exceptions crashing Find and Replace and potentially also Access. This problem was fixed in version 1.0.10 (RTM).
• Missing results with Turbo Search: Occasionally we get reports that there are existing matches missing in the results when using Turbo Search. – We fixed quite a few incarnations of this problem since version 1.0.11. to 1.1.0. There may be still some exotic situations where this still happens. If you see this, please report to support!

Planned Features

We have quite a few ideas for additional features, but currently only one features is scheduled for Find and Replace.

• Searching in linked tables: Future versions of Find and Replace will also search in linked tables. – Added in v 1.0.17

Here is a list of frequently asked questions and their answers.

Q: I installed the Find and Replace but I do see it anywhere in Access. What’s going on?
