Hi,

Here is the address.

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/beta/

I tried it and it forwarded me to the SQL 7.0 evaluation site, which is I think where you started. I had a quick look and didn't see a download option.

>>Last July, I downloaded the beta version, 100 megs, using a cable modem. It took about an hour. If you find a trial version for download, please let me know.

>>>I can use a T1 or cable modem...but it wouldn't suprise me if they simply don't offer it because of it's size. I just thought if they DO offer it for download that it was buried somewhere......

In order to uphold my reputation as the 'cheapest man on earth' (as my girlfriend - she'll vouch for that one) I was wondering if anyone knows a place I can download it to avoid the 10 dollar shipping & handling fee.
