How to open Visual Studio . Net in Excel 2003? - sql

I am having trouble to understand the initial step of downloading SQL Data in Excel 2003.
Meaning that I have no clue how to open the VIsual Studio in order to proceed with following steps.
Please refer to this link should I not be clear enough:

Thank you all!

Prerequisites
To complete this walkthrough, the following software and components

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) 7.0 or 2000, with the Northwind sample database installed. This demonstration assumes that you've set up SQL Server/MSDE allowing

All other queries (MDX, DMX, XMLA) works fine, but DAX does not.
I have tried following to fix the issue:
Firstly I had tried re-install just SSMS.
When it did not work I have tried following steps still without success:
uninstall Visual Studio 2019 with SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)
uninstall SSMS
install VS 2019 with SSDT
install SSMS
I tried to search for help on this issue, but I have not found any relevant information.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

which SSDT for VS 2017 when I have SQL Server 2016 DE

I have VS 2017 CE, SQL Server 2016 DE and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 13.0.16106.4. About VS is showing Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools as installed.
I would like to install SSDT so that I can do the SSRS/SSIS and SSAS but I don't know which one to install, it's giving few options from here
It reads
Download SQL Server Data Tools 17.1 for Visual Studio 2015
Download Data-Tier Application Framework (DacFx) 17.1
From the same website
It then advises "To use SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio 2017 see this section below". When I go to the link provided it takes me to visualstudio.com website. It's not apparent to me what I need to download from there, is it the Community Edition?
Going back to the first link I provided, it advises...
If you are using SSDT with Visual Studio 2017, install the AS and RS components:
Analysis Services
Reporting Services
I also found another link...www.visualstudio.com/vs/ssdt/
Also are there any conflict between sql server 2016 and vs 2017 CE when taking SSRS/SSIS or SSAS tasks?
StackOverFlow is giving me message that I need to have number of reputation before I can give more than 1 website link.
Can someone advise me which one to install?
Thanks.
For Visual Studio 2017, there is not yet a stand alone install of SSIS|AS|RS. However, there are VSIX installs available for RS and AS. See links below.
SSIS is working on creating a standalone install as well as a VSIX package.

visual studio 2015 office 2007

my job is to maintain a word-addin, created many years ago, developed by many young programmers like me ;) the addin works fine and there are only a few and easy changes to do from time to time, so my task is to bring the development environment up to date.
The addin was handed over to me as an visual basic project with Visual Studio 2005(in XP-Mode) and a .dot-file
Now I wanted to use Visual Studio 2015, but when I tried to migrate the project there is an error which says the word-version i'm using is not supported by VS2015 and tells me to use Office 2010 minimum. The problem is, my company just uses Office(Word) 2007.
So how can i get VS2015 to migrate the project properly and to use word 2007? Or do I have to use 2010? I read 2010-addins can be used in 2007 and via versa, so this should not be the problem.
Following software is installed:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Microsoft .NET Framework 4/4.5/4.5.1/4.5.2/4.6
Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2015
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Runtime
Visual Studio 2015 Community
Microsoft Office Word 2007
thanks for help :) and please excuse my bad english
The short answer is that you cannot use Visual Studio 2015 to open the original project, but you can recreate the code in a new project that will still work with Office 2007:

How to get the document-level templates into Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO)

"To summarize: if you install VSTO 2005 SE on top of a clean VS 2005 Professional, you won't have the document-level templates. If you want to have them you need to have VS 2005 Team Suite/Team Edition or you need to install the previous version of VSTO: VSTO 2005. So VS 2005 Professional + VSTO 2005 + VSTO 2005 SE will give you the document-level templates!"
So my question is, does anyone have a link to a VSTO 2005 download (it is no longer available from Microsoft).
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/f2909f92-3517-49bc-9e86-c136299956bc/
As Richard said earlier in this
thread, the "document-level" project
templates (Excel Workbook, Excel
Template, Word Document, and Word
Template) are not included in VSTO
2005 SE or Visual Studio 2005
Professional. To get the
"document-level" project templates in
the 2005 release of Visual Studio, you
must have one of the following
versions of Visual Studio:
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office (this is a completely separate
edition of Visual Studio for purchase;
it is not a free download).
One of the "Team System" versions of Visual Studio 2005.
The VSTO development story is somewhat
simpler in Visual Studio 2008. In this
release, all of the VSTO projects
(add-ins and the document-level
projects) are now available in Visual
Studio 2008 Professional, as well as
the "Team System" versions. This
includes add-in and document-level
projects for both Office 2003 and the
2007 Microsoft Office system.
Maybe this one will help Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office 2005 Runtime (VSTO 2005 RTM)
The VSTO 2005 redistributable package installs the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime, which is required to run solutions built using VSTO 2005. This runtime supports document-level customizations for Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and Microsoft Office Word 2003, and application-level add-ins for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.

Download link for SQL Server Reports add-in for Visual Studio 2008

Can someone provide the download link for SQL Server Reports add-in for Visual Studio 2008 (not Visual Web Developer)?
You get the Reporting Services development tools by running the install for SQL Server. You can download a 180 day trial here: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/trial-software.aspx
