I'm in the process of moving to a SQL Server 2005 server running Progression 76.400a. I assume I need to install SQL 2005 client software on each workstation. Do I need to delete the SQL 2000 client first? Do I need anything installed on the 2005 client other than "Client Components"? Installing 2005 client seems to be much slower than SQL 2000 client..... Anyone have any thoughts?

Upgrading to SQL Server 2005

I have done this several times and have not had the complaint about being slower. I would remove the SQL 2000 before installing the SQL 2005 client. I never install only client components. There are some functions that do not work with only the components. I do not register the SQL server and I keep the SA password secure so I am not worried about unauthorized access to the database.
