| When 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:

| Well it surprising that there is not compatibility, but it was easy to change
my ISP from SS05 to SS2000, so no harm done.
Thanks

| Why are you surprised? Why would you expect an older version of software to
know anything about features that did not exist when it was written?
