I had never tried it with 2008 based on my mis guided beleif that support had been removed (which I was fine with) and so I tried to set up support on my local 2008 version with no luck. I also can not get the designer to launch. It just repeats the statement over and over again that I need to install the 2000 designer. I am wondering if this is becuase I also have 2005 installed. when I install the 2000 campatibility there is not option to determine where or what I want to install against. ie my 2005 version vs 2008 version. at any rate I did find a few articles saying I needs to copy some files out of 80 folders into 100 folders but with no luck.
