hey yall, my team is using SQL server 7.0 for a systems project....problem is no one knows how to do anything on it.

At the moment im just tryin to make a form/report that lists a bunch of students with check boxes next to each row that we can use to either Activate or De-Activate.

Supposedly there are "tools" that can do this in SQL server, we just dont know where they are.

Any advice or links pointing us in the right direction would be appreciated.

There are no tools in SQL Server to generate reports or user interfaces. There are other products that CAN do this with data taken from SQL Server. Probably the easiest and most available option is MS Access. Access can link to SQL Server tables, and has built-in capabilities to create forms and reports. If you don't have Access handy, you'll need to provide more information on what you're trying to do before we can make a further recommendation.

If you do have Access, look in the help file for "linked tables", it will describe everything you need to do to link to your SQL Server. If you get stuck you can post back here.
