| I tried to use SQL Server 2000 to access one Microsoft SQL server 2005 sample database, and got the following error message:[SQL-DMO] You must use SQL Server 2005 management tools to connect to this server. I could use Oracle 9i to access Oracle 10g database. Why Microsoft doesn't support this?Qing |

| Well you can access SQL Server 2005 using Query Analyzer 2000, just not using Enterprise Manager 2000. QA 2000 provides limited functionality with 2005 databases though.Tara Kizer |
