Can't create index output file in texnic center

I was beating my day because the index was not being printed on the report.
Later, after a good number of search(es),  I found that this is interesting feature of MikTex 2.9

The problem was solved by changing %bm to %tm in the MakeIndex option.

Here is what I did:
Go to build > Define Output Profiles (Alt+F7)
Change %bm to %tm in the MakeIndex option.
Probably same thing needs to happen with Bibtex (if problem persists).


Edit:
I am really glad that you are finding it useful. Happy Texing!

@Guillaume Coatalen,
Did you try \newpage ?
(\pagebreak command tells LaTeX to break the current page at the point of the command... )

well, somehow that didn't work for me either.... but i defined myself another postprocessing tool in texniccenter with the path of the makeindex program and ""%tm".nlo -s nomencl.ist -o "%tm".nls"

That one workes perfectly. But thanks for the hint

Man you saved our lives. I spent a few hours figuring out why this doens't work. So what was the problem actually and why b has to be replaced by t? is this some kind of new version with updated commands? And why the solution is so obscure actually?

You have no idea how long I'd been trying to figure out what was wrong! I tried everything, even changing my document class (which was fine, I wanted to do that anyway)!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
