Full Text Index error

A user’s existing index is dated 9/06. I tried to delete the index and recreate it, but am instead getting this error:

the existing full text index was built by a later version of this product

The ODS is 43 for both his local and server versions. We migrated from v5 to v6 after September '06.

I looked for but could not locate this error in this forum.

Thanks

I don’t know, but it sounds like you need to delete the index, then check for and manually delete a dbname.ft folder from disk, then recreate the index. There’s probably some file in there it doesn’t recognize, and so when you delete the index it doesn’t know to delete it.

Thank you Andre - I will try this.
