FP2003: "Replace All" not working!!!

[John Mackay]

Hi,

I have just upgraded from FP2002 to FP2003 and am in the process of
migrating a large site (6Gb/3000Files)to a new look and feel and in the
process moving from the shared borders environment to Includes for my
headers and footers etc.

Part of this process necessitates that I search and replace some script
references in the head section of all my pages. If I use the Find in
site button from either the Find or Replace Tabs the find tool trolls
through the website and finds several hundered pages containing the text
to be replaced.

I can click the "Replace" button and make the chages a page at a time
and it works fine.

However, when I click the "Replace All" button it flushes the existing
result set and commences a new search but returns nothing. Yet I can hit
the "Find in Site" button immediately after this and it will troll
through the site once more return the original result set

what gives ??????

It's almost as if clicking the "Replace All" button is by-passing the
existing result set and trolling the entire website with an empty query
that returns nothing.

Before any one asks I am working in an open web, with "Find All Pages"
and "Find in source code" checked. So it's not the usual stuff )


Is there some secret chain of events for doing this that I'm not aware of?

Thanks in advance...John.

I had a similar problem...it was a subweb, when I closed
the parent web it worked fine. I also had a problem with
an add-in form jimcoaddins that caused it to crash. Once
it was removed it worked fine. You have FP 2002
extensionson development web?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your reply. I wish it was the 'parent web' open scenario but
I'm afraid that it isn't. This problem is as weird as all get out. What
concerns me most is that it doesn't appear to have happened to anyone else.

And yes My Dev environmnet matches my production.

Thanks once again Bill.

John.

What happens if you do a fresh S & R and select the "all pages" and the in "html" options
