Thank you for responding Erland. No, I didn't get any box, as you
suggested. When I click on the Icon to start MSE, the disk spins for about
10 seconds, and that's it. This is in the properties section of the Icon:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\ssmsee.exe" Is this the correct
calling program? Any other suggestions???
