Easy upgrade from Express to full version

I have recently upgraded from the Express version to purchase the whole suite. Love it! However, I wrote an app in the Express version which has all the Windows, reports etc and a lot of code with the word "Express_" automatically included. I would like to tidy this up preferably without having to manually rename each window, report etc. I can do the code by doing a search and replace (as long as I do it in the correct order), but cannot find an easy way to do this with objects apart from manually.

Any ideas would be welcome. It there isn't away, then I will have to take time doing it manually. Also, this would be a welcome feature for those of use who are moving up from the Express version.

Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,

I fear that there is no smart way to achieve your goal. I suppose, PC Soft did not expect anybody to make a full project using the Express Version. The WINDEV Express Version is different from Visual Studio's Express Version. The only way to have your project transferred to your licensed version is to start a new project and import (Project .. Import .. WINDEV elements and dependencies) the windows and edit the window and control names.
