I'm getting crazy trying to install SQL Server Express Management Studio 2008
Pb for installing SQL Server Express Management Studio 2008
I have tried 10 times, now I give up. But maybe I can try to work with SQL Server Management Studio 2005? Do you know if it will work?
No, you can use the full SQL Server 2008 Management Studio (included in SQL Server 2008 editions other than Express), and it can connect to SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 Express, and any of the 2005 (and even 2000) versions, but it doesn't work the other way around, sorry.
No, as far as I know it doesn't. You will get a message that says it will work with only SQL Server 2005 or later.
No, you cannot use the 2005 SSMS UI against 2008. Maybe in your other thread you can show the log details that explains WHY Management Studio won't install. Many, many people are able to use this tool without issue, so maybe if you want help in figuring out why you can't, you can provide more details...

I am currently running SQL Server 2008 Management Studio (version 10.0.1600.22) and I want to update due to a bug in this version.
All the documentation I have found so far has been for updating to SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio and SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express which I believe are different. Is that right?
I have also found links for updating SQL Server which I once again believe isn't what I'm looking for as I only want to update the client side.
Is there a way (or link) where I can update SQL Server 2008 Management Studio without having to reinstall it?
I believe the management tools for SQL Server 2008 R2 is backwards compatible with SQL Server 2008.
If you want to keep your database instance SQL Server 2008, just run the setup on the installation DVD and choose Maintenance -> Repair. At the screen to select the instance, there is an option to select "Repair shared features only". I don't have SQL Server 2008 DVD, only 2008 R2 DVD, but I believe the 2008 version works the same way.
Or if your computer doesn't have SQL Server database instance, you can do a fresh installation and choose only management tools. Example screen shots (for 2008 R2): http://it-n-careerz.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-install-sql-server-management.html
Good luck!
I am trying to connect SQL Server 2008 through Management Studio Express 2005. I have some limitations of Dot Net Framework upgrade on the client machine thats why trying to access it through 2005. I already implemented this solution:
FIX: You may experience problems when you use SQL Server Management Studio in SQL Server 2005 to connect to an instance of SQL Server 2008

But its not working. I have installed a Management studio express 2005 SP4. But its doing trouble. It connects the 2008 Database server but when i tries to view the table through design view it throws an error message "Unspecified error". Where as i am able to view table records by making a query request.
I am really stuck. Please help me out.

The backward compatibility for client tools in SQL server 2008 is not as good as we wanted to be... Sorry.
How to use SQL Server Management Studio with SQL Server 2000
Download it, install & run it. Works fine with every SQL Server edition.
SSMS 2008 will work with SQL Server 2000. You won't have access to intellisense or SQL 2008 Commands ( hierarchy, geometry, CTEs, etc) but you can run T-SQL, browse the server without issue. Just make sure you're using the correct login method.
By the way, if you need intellisense working in SSMS with SQL Server 2000, you'll need some third-party tools, like our dbForge SQL Complete. The tool has both free and shareware editions.
I am not able to connecting to the sqlserver 2008 from my sqlserver 2005....Is it really not possible to connect or there is some way..
please suggest me..if there is some thing..
Thanks.
SQL 2005 Management Studio is not forward-compatible with SQL 2008.
You'll need to install the 2008 version of the tool (which will allow you to connect to 2008/2005/2000).
