I am using forms 4.5 and have finished a project for a client.Now the client needs the same software for a different company.How to change the company name through out the forms and report at once instead of doing it individually?(We have already changed the company name in some of the forms individually)

Do it in batch:
1. convert the FMBs in batch to FMTs
2. Find and replace in the FMTs using a text editor (there are more advanced editors that Notepad). I did something similar once and used FTP to put every FMT on a UNIX box and used a shell script. Afterwards I sent it back to the Windows machine via FTP.
3. convert FMTs back to FMB
4. batch compile.

Why don't you put the company name in a table ?
(Parameter Table)

If you use the same menu throughout the application, read the company name (select ... from parameter_table where parameter_type = 'COMPANY') in the menu (mmb) and put it in a global (:global.company_name)
Then it can be used in all forms.
