Hi John

OK, then I see no issues for your case.

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.

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.
