Re: client question

I already have a SQL server instance install on a server. I'm trying to
find out how to connect to it from my desktop. I can't seem to find the
install program.

SSMS is a client tool that can be installed anywhere (client or server).
Regardless of where it is installed you can (given the proper permissions
of course) connect to any SQL Server instance installed either locally on
that machine or remotely on another. SSMS itself can not run the query it
just submits it to the server. So I am a little confused as to your
question. Do you already have a SQL Server instance with a database that
you want to connect to or are you asking if you can install a fresh
instance?

not sure if this is the right group for this question...please redirect
me if not

Is thee a way the SQL Server Management Studio on my local computer so
that I can run queries, etc.?

I tried running setup from Disk 2 and thought it would do what I was
trying to do, but nothing showed up in all programs after running the
install.
