James, Thank you for your suggestions. Looks like it is something that can be done.

I've done that with Management Studio 2008. As I recall, you start the installation and just select the Client Tools and make sure to deselect everything else. I also have the Developer and Express editions on my desktop and they run together without any problems. You just need to install the second version as a named instance. Although I usually shut down the one I'm not using to save memory.

The computer currently has Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2005 express edition on it. As things stand now Visual Studio uses the Express edition for projects and web sites. I don't want to screw up my current projects. I would like to have access to the Full version of Management Studio to work on some remote servers. What is the consensus of the SQL Server gurus on the best way to do this? Thanks in advance.
