Hello Fred, When you recreate an index from the scratch (with the last IndexWriter constructor's argument "true"), all IndexReaders must be closed, cause IndexWriter tries to delete all files entire directory, where you index being created.
If you have any opened IndexReader within this time, then Windows locks some of the files, used by IndexReader, preventing them from being changed by other process. Thus IndexWriter's constructor is unable to delete these files and throws IOException. Max Monday, September 20, 2004, 4:40:00 PM, you wrote: FT> Hi Sergiu, FT> Thanks for your suggestions.
