Rename event VBA subs when controls are renamed.

Renaming form controls leaves orphaned VBA code that was created under the original controls's name.

    Rick Fisher's Find and Replace did this nicely and many of us use this on a day to day basis. Unfortunately Rick seems to have disappeared and his F&R is no longer available.

    I agree with Tom, there is just no occasion, I can think of, when you would want to rename a control but not change the Event Prefix to match.

    Unlike Boomer57 I do not consider this optional. If you had a FirstName_AfterUpdate event, and you decided to rename that control to txtFirstName, I would certainly expect it has an AfterUpdate event. Is there a use case to the contrary?
