  • microsoft sql server 2000 8.00.2039

  • You're running SQL 2000 there, not SQL 2005.

  • You probably have the SQL Server 2005 client tools installed on your desktop. SSMS can work with SQL Server 2000.

  • that query was within sql studio

  • The query Gail had you run returns the version of SQL Server you are connected to, not the version of the client tool running the query.

    that query was within sql studio

    Doesn't matter what you're running it in. You are connected to a SQL 2000 server, that's why the maximum compatibility you can set is 80 (SQL 2000)
