Ive installed it, created a catalogue, selected a table (with a primary key) stepped through the wizard, in fact followed all instructions to the letter. When I run this query

SELECT *
FROM guidance
WHERE CONTAINS(Title, ‘Cardiac’)

I get this error

Server: Msg 7342, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Unexpected NULL value returned for column ‘[FULLTEXT:guidance].KEY’ from the OLE DB provider ‘Full-text Search Engine’. This column cannot be NULL.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Unexpected NULL value returned for the column: ProviderName='Full-text Search Engine', TableName='[FULLTEXT:guidance]‘, ColumnName=’KEY’].

Ive googled the error and followed the variouis suggetions, even renaimg the registry entry and reinstalling the full text functionality from the master disk. Nothing seems to work.

this query returns 1 which shows that its implementd

SELECT DATABASEPROPERTY(‘dbName’,'IsFulltextEnabled’)

Ive run out of options.,…help !
