Prev: IIS 6 - Programmatically Creating New Web Sites (Issue)
Next: Redirect to virtual folder under default website

We have code that used to return the Author, Keywords, and some of the other
built-in document properties from Word documents to a grid in a web page. We
recently upgraded to Office 2007 and wanted to convert existing files for our
Marketing department to .docx. Unfortunately when these files are converted,
the web page still loads, but the only thing returned to the webpage is the
filename. The rest of the grid is blank.

I've set .docx in MIME and it does appear to index them, at least as far as
filename goes. I really need it to return the file properties as well.

Any suggestions?

..docx files are quite different to .doc files. What is the code you're using
to query the file properties? If you can post the code itself then it might
help determine what you need to change to get the properties for these
files. At a wild guess I would say that the indexing service you're using
doesn't have the correct ifilter loaded to handle .docx files.
