Hello

Server Details:
OS => Windows Server 2003
SQL => SQL Server 2005

Client Machines:
OS => WinXP sp2
SQL => 2000, 2005 express

The developers at work connect remotely to the server. Some of them have the "client SQL 2005 express" and others are using "SQL 2000"

Over the next week I plan to upgrade all the developers to 2005 Standard.

I have performed an upgrade of '2005 express' to '2005 standard' and encountered no problems. However I have no experience upgrading the 2000 client.

Can anyone suggest a strategy (fresh install/upgrade)or highlight any pitfalls that I should avoid.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions offered.

Regards
Toby
