The professional version of Visual Studio does not contain Enterprise
manager.
There is a freeware program called MSDEQuery that you can use instead of MS
Query, look for it on the internet.
I use a version of SQL Server called the Personal Edition (I think that's
waht it's called), which came with Office XP Developer and it has Enterprise
Manager included, so I would think the developer edition would as well.
If you have MS Access, you might try that as I understand you can develop a
database "Project", which is a front end into a SQL Server database. I
don't know for sure, but I think you can build the SQL Server tables that
way. I havn't tried this, so I culd be wrong, but if you have Access it's
worth looking into.
Good luck.

I have a copy of MS Visual Studio 2002 Professional ACADEMIC which I
understand is the same as the regular Professional version with the
addition of a student CDROM. The installation program on the first
CDROM only copies the MSDE to the harddrive and the copied setup file
has to then be manually executed to complete the installation.
Are the SQL tools such the SQL Enterprise Manager and MS Query
included in the professional version? If so, how can I install these
tools? The course that I am taking uses these tools to study SQL. If
not, how is the MSDE to be used?
Don't know about your problem, however there is a 120 day free trial
of the full ms sql server that can be downloaded from Microsoft's
site. This does include the query analyzer / enterprise manager. You
could also buy the developers version of ms sql server that costs
under $100, and I believe that has the tools that you want.
