| Hello,Has MS still not released a separate download for only Management Studio for 2008? A year ago, you had to use the complete install media files then during installation, select only Client/WorkStation components.I this still the case?Thanks, John |

| Thanks dinakar and DeepGround.I considered Express.. but I need to be able to connect to databases that are much larger than the 10 GB limit that the Express Engine has.Will I be able to work with larger databases using Mgmt Studio Express?Please advise. Thanks, John |
