>>>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.

Ok, I tried to google where else to buy SQL Server 2008 R2 but nothing really relevant came out as results...
