Mgmt Studio not supporting 7.0?I tried using Mgmt Studio RTM to connect to SQL Server 7.0 instance and
received this: "This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 servers (ConnectionDlg)" I thought Mgmt Studio was going to support 7.0? Hi
No. 7.0 is really very close to end of life so no support for it.

Lots of features get dropped from the Product over it's development life. This support was dropped very early. SMO support for SQL Server 7.0 was dropped very late and there is still documentation mentioning it. During the development program, even e-mails were stale by the time most people read them, let alone printed books.
