If you downloaded MSDE I'm not sure if you got QA and EM (Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager). However you can download the demo of SQL Server 2000 and run the install just the client tools. They are included with Demo, Developer, Pro and Enterprise editions of MSSQL 2000 but IIRC they don't come with MSDE. If you elect to install client tools only you'll be just fine. These are the tools that most people use on Windows... however if someone has any suggestions for a Linux client I'm game ;) HTH Hatton` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=36 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:131602 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
