| Hi, I have both SQL 2000 and 2005 installed on the box on which I am working. When I am in the management studio in 2005, it only sees the 2000 instance, which is named MACHINE-NAME. It also sees a 2005 instance called MACHINE-NAME\SQLEXPRESS, which I believe got installed with Visual Studio. However, I don't see a 2005 instance I can connect to - when I pop in the 2005 DVD to install it, it says that 2005 is already installed (and indeed it is, as I use Management Studio, etc). But I can't connect to the 2005 Developer Edition instance as I can't see it - any ideas how to get around this?Thanks,James |

| In SQL Server Configuration Manager do you see services for all instances? Are the services running and configured correctly for the 2005 instance?w s melton |
