haha, yep.. starting to see that as the way forward in the next review!

Installing SSDT has installed dtexec 32bit. It says that the client tools will do it as well but not sure what it means. I tried the client connectivity tools and that failed to install it. and has them working..

Just need to find out why the environment variables arent updating now and my world will once again be at peace!

Thanks for the help!
