How to: FileSearch on a Remote catalog or server ?

How to: FileSearch on a Remote catalog or server ?

How to: FileSearch on a Remote catalog or server ?

(OP)
I developed a useful excel add-in:

   - it helps maintain custom document properties
   - it can search files (xl, doc, ...) on this basis
   - I used a local "Indexing service" catalog

It is written in VBA, and uses the FileSearch object.

Collegues would like to use it on a network drive or on a server. I don't see how to do it. I found no way to use a remote catalog within my addin.

Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry I cannot help with your problem, but I would be very interested in your Excel Macro. Are you in a position to release it (i.e. copy), or could you summarise the steps to write it?

Thanks

Have they tried mapping the network drive?
