sql server full text search: Martin,
While Hilary's Kb article reference is a good place to start, however,
because you said that you did an "in place upgrade from sql7 > 2000", you
should also want to review KB article 814035 (Q814035) "FIX: A Full-Text
Population Fails After You Apply SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814035, and review
your server's application event log for any "80004002 - No such interface
supported" errors.

Also, if you're recently changed the MSSQLServer startup account &/or
password, you should review KB article 277549 (Q277549) "PRB: Unable to
Build Full-Text Catalog After You Modify MSSQLServer Logon Account Through
[NT4.0) Control Panel [or Win2K Component Services]" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;277549

Regards,
John

Afternoon folks
Ive just done an in place upgrade from sql7 > 2000 ( on w2k server sp4) and
have noticed there are no options for creating catalogs as the option is
greyed out

I have installed the component after upgrading as per guide, installed sp3a
and booted etc but still no luck --- any pointers would be
appreciated...thanks in advance
Martin
