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
