Because you need to use SQL Server Management Studio instead of Enterprise Manager to connect to SQL Server 2005 just like the error says.

You can use Query Analyzer with limited features though.

1. I don't know. I use Management Studio for all of my 2005 servers.
2. Why don't you just have both client tools on your machine? Use Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer for SQL Server 2000 and use Management Studio for SQL Server 2005. They run side-by-side without any problems.

2.Because i'm connecting remotely to 2k5. Means I remotely have 2k. Use that 2k to connect to 2k5.

That doesn't matter. I connect remotely to all of my servers. You just need to install the 2005 tools on your client machine.

Do you mean you like to query sql2k5 db from sql2k? Use linked server if it's the case.
