Thank you all so much for your help. <br />
<br />
I think i should not work on things like this at 1 in the morning... &nbsp;Brain shuts off...<br />
<br />
Crag:<br />
The error is You do have the right service pack on your server.<br />
<br />
I looked last night and was unable to find the service pack or anything to state that it could run on Web Edition. &nbsp;So now i know for sure it can, i will install the new service pack and see what happens.<br />
<br />
thank you<br />

SQL database on a Windows Server 2003 Web Edition

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
