Unable to Connect to SQL 2005 from SQL 2003 Client ToolsWhen attempting to connect to a 2005 db at my ISP from 2003 client tool i
get: "to connect to this server you must use sql server management studio or sql server management objects". I can find NO references to this error anywhere and I dont have 2005 client tools yet. I assume you're using Visual Studio client tools? These are not compatible
with the SQL Server 2005 meta-data. If you can't upgrade to VS 2005, you will need to try some different tools in the meantime. You could try management studio Express: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=82AFBD59-57A4-455E-A2D6-1D4C98D40F6E&displaylang=en -- Show quoteThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

my ISP from SS05 to SS2000, so no harm done. Thanks Show quote "Roger Wolter[MSFT]" wrote: > I assume you're using Visual Studio client tools?
