SYMPTOMS

The sample NNTP Query form shipped with Index Server 2.0 returns a table of articles found matching the query; however, no link is returned that allows you to open the document.

WORKAROUND

If you want to return a link that the client can use to view the news articles, you must modify the Nntpqry.asp file. The following is an example of how you can modify the code to return a valid link to the news article:

   <a href="news://news.server.com/<% = Server.HTMLEncode(RS("newsmsgid"))%>">

This returns a link to the article on the server-specified news server.
