Hi all Well, they (MS) are not kidding: http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2007/12/09/visual-studio-and-sql-server-2008.aspx <quote> For Visual Studio 2008 to support SQL Server 2008, we will be delivering a patch to coincide with the next CTP of SQL Server 2008. </quote> which raises the logical question: <quote> When is next CTP of SQL Server 2008 coming out? ... Monday, January 21, 2008 1:53 PM by Somasegar The next CTP of SQL Server 2008 will likely come out towards the end of Feburary - in time for the "VS2008, Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008" launch. </quote> Good timing? /gustav >>> Gustav at cactus.dk 10-02-2008 11:18 >>> Hi al How odd is this? I just took the time to install SQL Server 2008 Express CTP and VS2008 on a new machine (Vista) to enjoy a brave new world. But as soon you attempt to connect to the server, this message pops: "This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported." They must be kidding ... even an add-on for VS2005 is available: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e1109aef-1aa2-408d-aa0f-9df094f993bf&displaylang=en How odd is this? VS2008 ships with the SQL Server 2005 Express but still. Any ideas on how to get it to accept SQL Server 2008 CTP? /gustav
