Re: beware: SQL2005 management studio not 2000 compatible

using 2005 management studio i made changes to an 8 step job on SQL 2000
server. I inserted a new step into position 8 and then tried to save it.
SQL2005 management told me that some feature was not supported on SQL 2000
so i pressed cancel. at this point both SQL 2005 management studio and SQL
200) enterprise management both report a 4 step job.

It is going to take me hours to restore the 8 step job from a backup so
that it can be re-inserted into the live DB.

That's bad. That would indicate that there is no transaction handling. I
think this is quite a serious bug. Please go to http://connect.microsoft.com
and file a bug for this. Try to be as specific as possible. Best if you
can give a complete scenario which reproduces the problem. (A two-step job
should be sufficient, I guess.) I know that this will take even more time,
but if Microsoft does not get to know about the problem, they can't mend
their ways.
