    Hi, I've eventually managed to get a copy of SQL Server 6.5 and I've made it available for download for SSC users.

    You will need an FTP client (or command line!) Use 8-bit binary type (TYPE BINARY at cmd line) and a RAR extractor.

    Server: http://ftp.derekcolley.co.uk

    Username: sqlservercentral AT derekcolley.co.uk

    Password: ssc

    Filename: SQL65.RAR

    I'll leave it online for the foreseeable future. There is a manual included in the download.

    Install by using setup.exe in the I386 folder,documentation is in SQLBKS65. Extras scattered throughout inc. ISQL, DTS client and more.

    Enjoy!

    Note to developers:
    CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(FLOOR(NULLIF(ISNULL(COALESCE(1,NULL),NULL),NULL)) AS CHAR(1)),1,1) AS INT) == 1
    So why complicate your code AND MAKE MY JOB HARDER??!:crazy:

    Worked just fine for me, even Windows Command Line.
    I'd guess you were thrown off by a copy/paste for user, not translating his spaceATspace into the @ sign, because he (smartly) doesn't want his e-mail floating around for spambots to grab.

    That said, thank you Derek, I just now grabbed a copy.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Turned out there were CRC errors, so my performance test will have to go back to SQL Server 2000 SP4a from the good ol' MSDN CD's.

    I am trying to connect to an old SQL Server 6.5 server.  SSMS wouldn't help me.  Could you please have me connect to your FTP site so that I can conect and download SQL Enterprise Manager to connect to the SQL 6.5 instance

    Rather than download SQL Server 6.5 from a random FTP site, you can download WinSQL Lite free and connect to your 6.5 database via that.
