IBF Smart Tag won't activate in Word

Hi,

I have created an IBF solution with smarttag. When I run in debug it works
as expected. However, if I publish the metadata and then try and open Word,
the smart tag does not appear at all. I have deleted my cache (every
possible way!). I cannot find any permissions issues, as all the dll's are
fully trusted and signed with a key.

Is there ANY way to debug this sort of thing, or does anyone have any
suggestions as to how I might find out what the problem is?

Thanks.

Aaron.

I found that there is a tool called the Smart Tag Explorer which might have helped me with the issues I'm having. I also found that it does not appear to work in IBF 1.5.

Can anyone confirm that this is true? Perhaps I need to delve into the Smarttag SDK and write my own... Tongue Tied

After re-importing the IBF metadata template and reconnecting my search and smarttag links to my solution things started to work. Guess I must have broken a link somewhere in the MetaData. ;-)

Hi all:

The best place to pursue this issue is in the IBF Newsgroup. You can access it here:
