I am retrieving a list of deleted objects so I'm using code from here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms677927(VS.85).aspx It works like a charm when compiled as a little test program. However, when I put this code in an existing large project, it stops returning the list of deleted objects. I found out that the following call: hr = pSearch->SetSearchPreference(rgSearchPrefs, ARRAYSIZE(rgSearchPrefs)); returns 0x00005011, i.e. S_ADS_ERRORSOCCURRED. Again, the code is copied as it is from the test program into a bigger project, and something makes it no longer work. Test program working fine and my project. Has anybody seen SetSearchPreference() returning this weird code? Any idea how to fix it? Thanks!Raman

Hi Raman-SGGS, I think your issue should be raised in the Windows Server Forum. I believe they will know more information of this issue than us, and I will move this one to that forum.
