sql server connect:
I have a local server I just upgraded to 2005. Everything went well. But, I
also have a remote sql 2000 server I still need to connect to. Can't seem
to get the tcp/ip connection to old server to work. Go back to old 2000 tool
and it works fine, but I'd prefer to stay in one environment and migrate to

As background - in SSMS, I checked the sql native client connectivity and
tcpip is enabled, alias is listed with correct ip and port. Error is:

===================================

Cannot connect to CASCE.

This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio can only be used to
connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (ConnectionDlg)

Sue, holy toledo! You're right! My contact TOLD me they were running sql
2000, but they're running sql 7. I know that the new SSMS won't work with
that - read that in the documentation. Ah, well. Have to keep the old tools
around, I guess. Thanks so much for forcing me to double-check.

That's the error you get when you try to connect to SQL
Server 7 or earlier with SSMS. Double check the version on
the other remote server when you connect with Query Analyzer
using select @@version.
