RE: I have installed Visual studio 2005 and management studio?
Management Studio is different from the database engine itself. Mgmt studio gives u the necessary clients to connect to a DB engine and execute queries, design tables, etc. If you haven't already, download the SQL Express DB engine from: http://www.microsoft.com/Sqlserver/2005/... , install it and (remembering ur 'sa' password if you specified one), connect to it with mgmt tools. To confirm whether the DB engine is installed (if u think u have already) do the following: 1) Start > Run > Type 'services.msc' 2) Look for a service called SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) or similar If it's there then I'm wrong so tell me and I'll think of something else.
