I tried to connect to a version 7 database with SMO to do a backup and got an
error indicating that it could not perform the operation becuase of the
version. I checked the documentation and version 7 should be supported. Is
this a an undocumented "feature"

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ConnectionFailureException: Failed to
connect to server 192.168.15.200. --->
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ConnectionFailureException: This SQL
Server version (7.0) is not supported.

I'm afraid that the documentation is wrong. Apparently support for SQL7
was planned, but it was never completed.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!, The reason I went to SMO from DMO was the support
for V7 AND I cannot get DMO to install on certain machines. I have env tried
the distrib package staight off the CD with no avail. So now I am stuck.
Can't get DMO to install when a version 7 MSDE is on a machine, and can't use
SMO. Thanks Microsoft Very Much! I guess my monetary loss is your gain DAMN
