Hi Jeff,

If SQL Express is working for you the VS 2005 Standard version may be OK for
your use. Perhaps you could download the trial and see if that will compile
your code??? I don't think there is a trial copy of the Standard version,
but this one lasts for 90 days.

Pro version:

One big limitation is that it doesn't include MFC so if the previous

I'd purchase at least the Professional level version to do any

no MFC eh?

OK I think thats a fairly strong case for the pro version.

Can anyone verify my 'observation' that if I get the pro c++ version I get
T-SQL debugger also? (I'd like to know I can debug stored procedures and
triggers if I need to). Thats what I thought I saw on the MS web site.

thanks Jeff
