    Which Edition?

    Ok so I have the standard vb.net edition and I can't connect to my SQL 2000 database. So I'm trying to figure out which version I do need and on Microsofts comparison webpage it only shows Enterprise Developer and Architect next to Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Does this mean only those 2 versions can connect to SQL 2000?

    Professional is 1K and can't connect to SQL 2000???

    Edition has nothing to do with it. You can connect to SQL with anything.

    I think he means in the Server Explorer. You can connect to anything in code but the Server Explorer part of the IDE can only connect to certain things depending on your version/edition. Well actually you can always connect you just can't edit from the Server Explorer without an edition higher than PRO. PRO can edit Local MSDE databases only. For any server database like SQL on another machine you need a higher edition (for editing).

    I use it instead of the SQL Enterprise Manager for SQL Stuff, creating stored procedures and tables and junk, but not for any drag and drop stuff.
