Ghosts

[Guest]

I changed a field name from 'Transaction Type' to 'Trans Type'. I then went
thru the application with a fine-toothed comb and changed all relevant
references to conform.

The reports run correctly, however, when invoked they ask for a parameter
'Transaction Type'. So there is a ghost reference left somewhere in the
system.

How do I track down this ghost?

Thanks in advance.

Did you check the Sorting and Grouping dialog?

If all else fails I usually make a copy of the report and then just
start deleting stuff until I find it. For example, you can make a copy
and set the new copy's HasModule property to "No". In one fell swoop
that will remove all code from the report. If the parameter still pops
up you know that code is not the problem. Make another copy and start
deleting sections, etc..

There are "find and replace" utilities available that are also helpful
for this sort of thing. I believe one is Rick Fisher's "Find and
Replace" and another is called "Speed Ferret".
