| There are a couple of SQL Server versions which report the same thing using @@version, but show more detailed information at the top of their log files on the server - but I forget which versions this applies too :-(Enterprise Manager : [MyServer] : Managemenent : SQL Server Logs : CurrentDoubleClick the "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00...." line near the top to see the whole message in a popup windowKristen |
