Here goes anyway:- When I first started using the program. I noticed in the Options, Advanced section that it had a lot of file types listed, but amazingly not *doc. So I added this anyway. I have set it to scan my D drive where My Documents reside with heaps of doc files, but although it indexes other folders on my D Drive, it doesn't seem to index My Documents properly. It goes through all the files during the indexing as it shows these being done, but on searching for files later, it doesn't find them! Thanks if anyone can help. :confused:	ssssss (2100)

You can choose whether you want to index only the file properties (name, date, size, etc.) or to index the files as text files. What version of Windows are you using? I ask becauseuUnfortunately, on-the-fly indexing of files is not technically possible with the Windows 98 and Windows ME perating systems. It is only available on Windows XP/2000/NT. Under Windows 98/ME, CDS performs a periodic rescan of your file folders to look for new and updated files. Regards, Timothy	AlphabetSoup (8128)

Well, I am flabbergasted ssssss, I would never have thought of checking that in a million years. You are dead right, and I have now added .doc extensions too. Thanks for pointing out. Must have look now and see if by some bizarre coincidence I can help with your query ! Misty ;) :thumbs:	Misty (368)
