You'll need to install the Client Tools to get Management Studio. You could use command line (sqlcmd) and issue a CREATE DATABASE statement, but that would be harder for a newbie.

Thanks Tara. As u mentioned, I installed the client tools and able to SSMS now. but ran into another problem.. unable to connect to sql server using SSMS..getting the following message...

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)


Any help is appreciated...

thanks,
Leela
