Hi,
having illegal operation errors on site within Word. They use word as a means for creating invoices (?) and have nearly 20,000 documents divided between half a dozen folders. They HAVE to use findfast to allow them to search the dcocments. However, frequently while browsing they will get 'illegal operation' error messages. Not specific to a pc. What I am wondering is if there is a limit for either findfast or word to the number of files that can be browsed.

Have you tried it without Find Fast? My experience doesn't reveal any advantage.

Find Fast Indexes take up about 7% of the space occupied by the text in the documents, but I can't find an upper limit.

I appreciate that disabling findfast MAY reduce the frequency of the illegal operation errors but what I REALLY need to know if there is a file limit - the way there is for numbers of files in a dos root directory for example.
