When searching using Index Server in our ASP page, the RS("vpath") is
returned to be null ("") where it is supposed to be
/DOCS/PROSPECT/RPro/Jan/JanDoc.PDF.
So, in the result list, the following is there:
<a href="" class="RecordStats"
style="color:blue;">http://myco.intranet.com</a>
/DOCS is in the catalog of Index Server.
Why is rs("Vpath") blank instead of /DOCS/PROSPECT/RPro/Jan/JanDoc.PDF ?
Thanks.

because its a physical directory and not a virtual one. In File explorer,
right click on the folder, select properties, web sharing and park it in
your web site which your Indexing Services catalog is tracking.

Thank you.
Did you mean /DOCS/PROSPECT/RPro/Jan/JanDoc.PDF is not a virtual directory ?
I think DOCS is a virtual directory.
In File explorer, right click on the folder, select properties, web sharing
and park it in
your web site which your Indexing Services catalog is tracking.
Where in Properties is the web sharing ? /DOCS is in the catalog of Index
Server.

More info:
- IIS is installed on the C Drive of a Windows server (Windows 2000 and IIS
5)
- The default website was set to the C Drive BUT all of the ewincite files
and documents are located on the D drive in a directory called D:\mydir
- The documents do indeed index and using the query the catalog function
from computer manager for index server we indeed get the proper path to the
documents
- When we made a complete copy of the D: drive directory and copied it to
the C Drive to c:\inetpub\mydir, the document search points to the correct
place

Do you think the rs("Vpath") is blank because the documents are not in the
same drive as the IIS ?

We did what you recommended and also make sure it was a virtual directory,
and it fixed the problem.
Thanks !
