Check the status bar if the file is open then simply execute Reindex Otherwise Simply delete the concerned mdx file using windows explorer. use your_file_name It will prompt to open read only or open and detach file. Detach index. and rebuild the index from scratch. If it is at a deployment position without ide then a lengthy process will be required. Regards Akshat
