Are you getting an error? What client tool do you want to use? Management Studio?

I explain, I develop an application(Example in visual basic) in the same machine that contain sql server 2005. That to say I use this server as a server database and also an application server. I want to know if I have to install a client version sql server in the clients machines to use my application.

thanks.

The client machine will need the SQL Server drivers to connect to the remote database server. The drivers will likely already be installed via MDAC.
