Find text in collapsed drilldown report

I have a drilldown report. Without opening a drilldown item, is there a way
to search for a text string using the "Find" link when viewing a report? If
not, what would be the best recommendation to accomplish this.Hello Parker,
Without opening the drilldown item, you could not use the "Find" button to
find the text in the drilldown item.
This is by design because the find operation only search the HTML which is
appearanced.
My suggestion is that add a parameter in the report to control to expanded
all the items.

find and replace

To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?

For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.

So you want to search all user tables for the value to be deleted? It's hard to control which tables to be search and it will be a huge workload when there are many tables. If you just want to maintenance the Reference Integrity, why not use constraints? You can create PK/FK between the tables, and cascading changes on the referencing columns. For more information about this, you can refer to:
