Hi John OK, then I see no issues for your case. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 17-01-2012 17:12 >>> AFAIK SSMS is entirely compatible with all versions of the database engine. I don't really deal with old versions much though. What you can do will be limited by the engine that SSMS is controlling of course. John W.

The issue here is, that some of the versions of SSMS cannot coexist while the never versions not always are backward compatible. I think it was you mentioning that a while ago. > Can someone confirm, please? > > /gustav > > >>>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 17-01-2012 15:33>>> > Well this does bring up the issue of installing the SSMS which does not come with the express version. > > John W.
