Full Text Search

[kg00se]

I am running SQL2000 on a windows 2k box that is a development server.
I have a database that I need to run fulltext searches on how ever everytime that I view the Full-Text Catalog section and right click on the catalog Start Full Population is grayed out.

I ran: sp_fulltext_database 'enable' and it came back just fine just that the Start Full Population is grayed out.
if I go to other database's on that same server it works just fine.

please help.

Thanks

Found this in Books On Line:

How to start and stop the Microsoft Search Service for full-text support (Enterprise Manager)
If necessary, the full-text service can be started (and stopped) in one of these ways:

Expand a server group, and then expand a server.


Expand Support Services, right-click Full-Text Search, and then click Start (or Stop).


You can also start and stop the service by:
Selecting the Microsoft Search Service in SQL Server Service Manager and clicking start or stop.


Typing net start mssearch (or net stop mssearch) from a command prompt.
