how 2 install client tools for SQl Server

In Server Explorer of VS .NET 2003, I tried to generate SQL script of the dbo.Portal (ibs)
but got
"To use this feature, you must install the client tols for SQL Server"

When I searched for Help, I've got
"1.Insert the MS SQL Server 2000 compact disc in your CD-ROM drive"

I installed and use MSDE and cannot recall the use of any CD for installation.

1)
Does it mean that I cannot install client tools from MSDE installation?

If not...

2)
I have installation of MS SQL Server200 Enterprise that cannot be installed on Windows Xp Professional that I use. Can I still install "client tools" from Enterprise Ed. for MSDEMSDE !== SQL Server

1. you get the client tools with SQL Server, not with MSDE, which is just the data engine.
2. you should be fine to install the SQL Ent client tools on XP - but it won't let you install the server.|||Thanx, Atrax,
I aslo found in
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/howtobuy/msdeuse.asp


You can only use SQL Server tools and services in conjunction with MSDE if you acquired MSDE through SQL Server 2000 (Developer Edition, Standard Edition, or Enterprise Edition), and if you are using MSDE in conjunction with a properly licensed copy of SQL Server 2000.

I am now in doubt where from I have installed MSDE, since I vaguely recall that I have MSDE installables in various places:
- free downloads
- various editions of SQL Server from CDs,
- MS Office and VS .NET installations
I remember I reinstalled them in various combinations on various PCs.

How can I determine whether MSDE is from Developer, Standard or Enterprise Ed.s or from free download?
Or it is not important?

Hosting DBO Nightmare going Live in 3 Days and counting

My hosting company will give me a user with db_ddlAdmin how do I change my current database which has all the tables,store procedures and views owned by dbo.

I've used a few sql scripts to change the owner using

Exec sp_changeobjectowner 'object', 'user'

and I've used

Grant Execute on object to user

These have changed ownership but the site still doesn't work

Does anyone know what to do to achieve this.

Any help greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

DuncanI hate to tell you, but our hosting operation does give our customers only DDLAdmin rights...

...and they have NO (!) problem creating entries belonging to the dbo user.

It is trivial. Just make sure you create them for the dbo user in the first place (i.e. EXPLICIT).|||Thanks Thona, this seems to set all the tables up fine but when I run dotnetnuke, it has a index out of bound error, I think this is happening because it is not creating any records in the table
