Help needed updating published custom Outlook forms

Hi all,
I have some Outlook custom forms that have a path referencing a file on a server folder.

The form when submitted sends a copy of itself rather than just the data because the form has workflow behind it and we do not have access to publish into the Organizational Forms Library.

So, each submitted form is an entire copy of the original with entered data.

The server location for the referenced file has changed.
I have updated the main form with the new link so all new submissions will have the new path.

What I would like to do now though is to programmatically replace the old path with the new path on all of the forms that have previously been submitted so that if someone opens an old form it will not error because the path has changed.

Anyone have an example of doing something like this?
I would need to specify the folder for it to search, the string to search for and the string to replace it with.

The path in question is in the code of the form, not in any of the fields.

TIA.

Paranoid? ME?? WHO WANTS TO KNOW????
