Group, I have a client who wants to see the progress of a development project we are writing. The database is SQL2000. He doesn't have SQL2000 on his computer. All we need is to be able to have something on his computer so that I can install a runtime of the Access XP ade and he can use it. This is only a temporary solution until he gets a server with the full SQL2000 installed on it. Since the temporary computer will not be accessible via a network, and it will not have a full version of Access XP on it, I am not sure that even if we got SQL2000 installed, we could connect to the database without coding the connection string (which is another matter). Back to my original question - Is there a free version of SQL2000 available, or will the free version of SQL2005 run SQL2000 databases. If so, does it have a tool like Enterprise manager for restoring datafiles etc?
