| The server is at my provider and I am going to use the console to connect and then do inserts and updates and backups and restores mainly. Do you know what link I would use for the downloadUsing XP SP2"Life is hard, but it's harder when you're stupid"!John 'Duke' Wayne |

| Thanks for your help, much appreciated!One more thing - I was trying to install 2008 MS Express for a few hour last night. It would go thru the checklist and then error outfirst - needed powershell, so i installed itnext - needed some 3.5 framework, so i installed thatnext - 2005 tools were conflicting (no more information about that) so i searched the web and everyone seemed to agree to remove a 2005 registry key (80)that got me past that and it was almost finished and then errored out again with just a very cryptic error messageWhat I did - Uninstalled both 2008 and 2005 consoles and anything that said 'sql server'So tonight i plan to do a new 2008 MS Express install without any 2005 stuff onboardany tips ?"Life is hard, but it's harder when you're stupid"!John 'Duke' Wayne |
