Errors Occur after Clicking Search

Problem: After keying in a search phrase and clicking Search various errors occur including "Index Tag Is Not Found."

Solution: The data table indexes were not generated when the software was installed.

This is a simple fix:

Close Micro Niche Finder if it's open.

Then you need to locate the data directory for Micro Niche Finder. It should be in your Documents and Settings folder. Mine is in:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Micro Niche Finder

If you can't find it Do a file Search for “results.*”

There should be a RESULTS.DBF and a RESULTS.CDX in a sub-folder of Micro Niche Finder, right-click on them and delete them.

Restart MNF.

Micro Niche Finder Will Automagically recreate the indexes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: uninstalling and reinstalling will not work because the data does not get uninstalled when you uninstall the software (has something to do with Window Vista compatability)
