| I have a thrid party app that claims they have had problems with the SQL 2008 64 bit database engine so they will not support it. Has anyone tried to install 32bit SQL on 64 bit Windows? I am pretty sure there is no option to downgrade a current installation of SQL to 32 bit is there?Thanks in advance. LD |

| There is no "downgrade" option but you can uninstall the x64 bits and install the x86 bits. It will run in WOW mode. But it will be a huge setback if you have more than 4 GB RAM on the system where the x64 version outperforms the x86.Dinakar Nethi************************Life is short.
