Find keyword in recordsource of report

Tags: Microsoft, Access, 2000
I am working on code that will search queries, forms, and reports for certain a given key word (it could be a table name, field name, etc)

I have the code below which works perfectly for the Queries, but I can't figure out how to get the reports part to work.  Notice that this is not listing reports in the current database, but rather an external database that they selected (txtFrontEnd)

Currently I am getting the error 'Item not found in this collection', but I know the report does exist and rst(0) shows the report name correctly.
