>>Thank you for the answer to my SQL 2005 - SQL 2008 question. 'William is right; the customer told me that I must have VPN connected in order to connect to the SQL Server. The customer is very sensitive to their security.

No. The customer told me that I should have SSMS install on my computer connecting to their SQL Server when I am connected via VPN. Does it make sense?
