Hi Hilary,
Thanks for your answer.
What I find strange is that the device saves the document with the extension
..doc, but is not a true word document format. So when I check the file
extension with the supported SQL iFilter extensions I get a match and save it
in the db for indexing and searching.
How would I go about programaticaly converting the uploaded docs from the
mobile devices to the full Office document standard supported by the Office
iFilter?
Thanks for your help,
Jeff

You would have to use Word to convert the files to the Office Word document
format as opposed to the Pocket Word format.
