I need to edit the files in my projects (not source) VBP,
FRM, CTL, BAS and so on. Can anyone recommend
a good editor, I need to do a global FIND and REPLACE across all files
(replacing OCX references)

Dare I suggest that you write one in VB6? Then you will be in full control
and you can write it so that you simply point it at a .vbp file and your
code does the rest, checking the vbp file to see what Forms and modules and
classes it references and automatically loading them up and doing a Replace
on the desired search term.

Yep, that's what I do, and then you can easily amend it to
do all sorts of other things should you need it.
