Is there a way to find/replace across databases all within the same application?

No. Why? What are you trying to do?

Every db had some code put in it to force it to menu tree instead of buttons.  It is in at least two places in each database.  Just wanted to get rid of it without opening every db and doing the find/replace for each of the 37 databases in the application.

Ouch. Sorry I can't give you better news on that. For future, you may want to replace that sort of common code with an #include. Makes updates of this sort easier.

For the very daring - you can export the entire application as XML, edit the XML file in a text editor (do not use a word processor) and then import the XML file back into Sesame as a new application. Make sure you back up everything very carefully before attempting this.
