Consequently they can't attach the database I just developed to their version 7. I thought my quickest option would be to install SQL Server 7 on my server and make the modifications in SQL Server 7, then send them the modified version. (Since I'm not confident the mods will work in SQL Server 7, I also need to do this to test it) Problem is that I have SQL Server 2000 installed on my server and when I try to install SQL Server 7 on the same machine it won't install. It gives me the error message "Internal Error. Contact Microsoft Technical Support." Should I expect it to be impossible(or very difficult) to install SQL Server on my server when I already have SQL Server 2000 installed? (I am using Windows 2000 Server.)Thanks for any helpful suggestions." |

| You must install SQL Server 7.0 first then SQL Server 2000. Since 2000 is already isntalled, you'll need to uninstall it then install 7.0 then install 2000 as a named instance.Tara |
