Thank you very much!

I've got the asp script working, but it seems to spit out results
which contain html, htm and asp as extension.

Is it possible to define the extensions (like .doc)?

I know the catalog has indexed the word documents (.doc) as well.

Only this script doesn't show them :)

Maybe it's just a simple thing, but please help me.

Kind regards,

niels
