| Hey all...I was using SQL2000, and liked very much the EM tool etc....But thought that I should maybe give SQL2005 a trial, so I installed same on my box...restarted...and hey, SQL isn't running.At least there is no icon in the tray. I have checked under Services and it looks like it's up and running....but I have NO server at all?What did I do wrong, or what do I need to do to "start" SQL2005?Jim |

| If it is SQLExpress, either you have to use sqlcmd to connect to SQL Server or install Management Studio (like EM). But in either case, SQL Server is already started, you don't need to start it manually. It's started at windows startup as a service.Harsh AthalyeIndia."Nothing is Impossible" |
