Hi,

We currently have a fairly old product, which was originally only
compatible with SQL 2000.

When we upgraded our server to SQL 2005, the client product gave us a
"This product is not compatible with this version of SQL server"
error.
We put the server into SQL 2000 compatability mode, and things worked.

Then I tested a Windows Vista workstation client. The error returned.

I realise that if we are simply dealing with a client incompatability
with Vista, then I'm in the wrong forum, but what I'm hoping is that
someone knows anything server side, perhaps where SQL 2000
compatability mode becomes ignored for some reason, when the client is
running Vista.

The vendor pretty much no longer exists, and nothing I've been able to
do with Vista's compatability modes has been helpful so far.
