How to select proj elts verifying a condition

[JP]

Hi,

Is there a way to extract from the whole project tree structure elements verifying a specific condition based on (but not limited to) their attributes values, such as, for instance, "Status" field = "Validated". Idealy I would view these elements in th esame tree structure but with a different color.

More generaly is there a way to run (SQL ?) queries on the DB tables of the project (since the whole thing is a bunch of Access DB tables).  

I assume this should be possible using Automation but I was wondering if there would be an already built in tool/function to do that.

I have a really big project and I need to be able to extract / view the elements or diagrams that have been "validated" or not by others.

Thanks

JP,
there is a built-in function to search element. It covers quite a lot of features but of course it has its limitations.  Try Edit/Find or Ctrl+F.

If you need more sophisticated search you can also go directly to the database. EAP-files are nothing else than MS Access databases. The table names are quite easy to understand and you'll probably be able to create queries in a short time. The table in question is t_object.
