Jim,
Thanks for the help.
YOu were right I was not trying the http://URL and that
worked. AT least to get into the page with the way I
expected to see to select options.
I chose "the entire website" as my option. As you said
below that it does not matter where the index is storing
the info as long as it is on the server. It is on the
server in a different drive. Does that matter?
What if we have numerous websites being housed on that
server and each has its own indexing being done. I would
think that if you said the search page can find the index
for a particular website...it would be able to find the
correct one for each website. IS that right?
Thanks again,
Mark
