hi, i entered PlanetWrox database in chapter 12 resource(not content sql2005) to visual studio 2010, and i installed sql server 2008 before,but when i want to expand or show tables of it show this error:

cannot be opened beacause it versian 655.This server supports versian 612 and earlier.A downgrade path is not supported.

im confusing ?!?

Hi there Sounds like your .\SqlExpress instance is SQL Server 2005, and not 2008. Could that be the case?

You can check by logging in to .\SqlExpress and then executing

SELECT @@VERSION

Cheers,

Imar
