Well Larry,

You would still need to know where the files exists in order to find out
what field names are in each file.

Once suggestion is use your pc and create an ODBC connection to the
libraries you wish to search. Then, using say MSAccess, you can import and
ODBC database. That option will list all the files for you. Select whichever
you would like. Then just view the table definition. Hopefully the names are
not too cryptic.

If this sounds interesting, I can send you steps in setting up the odbc.

Tim

Subject: Search by Field name?

I have a silly question. Is there a relatively painless way to search for a
field name in all files on a system? Since I am not a programmer, I
apologize if this is an easy question.

Thanks, Larry
