>>Gregory, thank you for the links. I will read them later but if I could ask a quick question, please. Did you install the SQL Server 2008 R2 as one product or installed R2 on top of the previously installed SQL Server 2008 (without R2)?

>Since you don't have SQL Server 2008 and the last link gives a link to buy directly SQL Server 2008 R2 from MS for ~$50 I think you need to go with the latest and the greatest and buy it and not the plain SQL Server 2008.

Too bad Amazon does not carry the R2 version (I much rather buy from them then from MS).
