    access 2003 and sql server 2005

    Hi,
    Is there a patch that would make the two compatable? I can't seem to
    design or edit the design of anything in the queries/stored
    procedures/view tab in access.

    Thanks

    Did you try? I know that one receives a message box saying that your
    changes will not be saved when one tries to edit. But, TTBOMK the
    changes are saved.

    Regardless, MS provides a very slick free download, Mangement Studio
    Express. IMO its interface is much superior to that of Access.

    Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition also has a Database Explorer
    that edits and manages SQL 2005 Express quite nicely.

    I haven't tried the last two with a full version of SQL 2005, but
    surely they won't even notice?
