Looks like a security issue with this user credentials when using web services (we do call Sharepoint web services to seracj over sharepoint sites and document library). So let's try to check this out with a native .net application doing the same operations. Please extract the files inside this zip file inside a directory, open a cmd window, go to this directory then type: ./ConsoleApplication1.exe http://your_sharepoint_site_url user_name password "(filename like 'word.%’)" 0 ./ConsoleApplication1.exe http://your_sharepoint_site_url user_name password "(filename like 'word.%’)" 1 ./ConsoleApplication1.exe http://your_sharepoint_site_url user_name password "freetext(defaultproperties, 'word’)" 0 ./ConsoleApplication1.exe http://your_sharepoint_site_url user_name password "freetext(defaultproperties, 'word’)" 1 Would you please send me the output for each of the above command, where word is a word you know it is contained in a document inside your Sharepoint site, try also with word where it is part of the name of a document inside your Sharepoint site. I should hence get 8 results (please name them) ------ Jean
