VS2003 only does 1.0/1.1 apps and VS2005 only does 2.0/3.0 apps. Any
new project really should be started as a 2.0/3.0 app as migration
from 1.1 to 2.0 is a big migration if you want to take advantage of
2.0 features.
You don't need Enterprise Architect and you don't need full MSDN.
Just need some version of VS2005. You probably can just use the free
Express edition.
Good luck,
Sam

I have Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect Edition. I have been
away from the programming area for a while - since before Studio 2005
came out. I am financially tight and am wondering if going to Studio
2005 is warranted considering what I already have available? Is there
anywhere I am going to have trouble if I port my projects over to 2005
in a while when I am better ready financially, or should I bite the
bullet and do it now to save myself trouble?
Please give your advice and opinions. Thanks!
Andrew
