Hi Sijin, thanks for your fast response.
I'm Using Indexing services for the server side and works perfect.
My problem is that I can't use Indexing services for the cd because by
default there are only some directories indexed and I think that the
CD is not one of them.
Off course I could install the whole content in the client side but
that is not the idea, and as you say I would still have the problem
with the PDFs.
I'm reading about copernic , the product looks awsome , but appears to
be a standalone product.
Thanks you very much
Juan Miguel
