I am looking for an activeX I can use to perform simple text searches within a .doc file, and have the file names returned when there is a match.

I've tried FindInFilesX, which is very fast. But moving from the demo to the latest version kills my environment (Paradox the Application); kinda finicky where activeX is concerned.

Any pointers to possibilities would be appreciated. I've searched around the Web, but haven't found much. But then, I may not have used the right terms to search with.

I'll add that if this is something that can be done fairly simply with the Windows API, I'm game to give it a shot.

I have VB, but my main environment is Paradox. I have converted many VB examples for use with Paradox.

Any help appreciated.
