Re: 2005 Full Text Error



You're welcome, Simon,
Great news! Although, its a shame that you don't have the FTS log file as
that could of been helpful info for helping others troubleshoot similar
problems in the future with SQL Server 2005 as I'm very positive there will
be more such situations! <G>

Thanks,
John
