Question
Hi I am having a problem, accessing a remote index server catalog. The name of the server has - in it, so i put the index catalog name as:
i.e num.num.num.num\name of catalog or an-example-server
I get the following error when using an ole data connection to pull results from the index:
"Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 39"
I tried putting single quotes and &qoute; with no luck - anyone have idea?
PS. This Microsoft Index Server Question!
Solution
I found the answer or certainly a solution. By adding an A record on the domain (with a friendly name), I managed to talk to the remote catalog without any problems. :)
