They have the resources, at least MS does. As far as dedicating to SS2K5, I'd like to think that it is still the active product right now.

My guess is someone...

This runs inside SQL Server, but I believe that the service account needs rights to the file. Is that the case?

Maybe a network hiccup as well? I never back up...

Ian,

Not a bad idea, but it might be hard to find. I'm sure that people post new questions since they don't search, or want to search, for other threads....

I'd like to reduce the size. Not sure how much work I'll get done there. The developers apparently like .NET and Javascript and generated lots of it, not really paying...

Search should cover all articles. Can you elaborate on which terms you used and which article you were looking for?

Matt,

I can appreciate the difficulty in testing and worrying about the localization and variations that might exist, but

Isn't that what they do with Service Packs?

Aren't they tested as...

Never read Monk. Come to think of it, I'm not sure there are any great quotations from books that strike me.
