I have SQL 2005 installed on a server.

The client is trying to connect to the server, I can create an ODBC
connection but when when software tries to connect using ADO I get the
following error

"To connect to this server you must use SQL Server Management Studio"


What do I need to install on the client to make this work ?

Hello, Michael

Try to install (on the client computer) the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Backward Compatibility Components" and/or the "Microsoft SQL Server
2005 Management Objects Collection", from the following page:
