Can someone help me with this.

I have installed the trail version of SQL Server 2005 on a 2003 server
box alongside an existing installation of SQL Server 2000. I can
connect to and create new databases but cannot create tables within the
database with create table statements. I get the error 'DDL statement
is not allowed'. MDAC is at version 2.82.1830.0

I have used the same installation executable to install the same trail
version of SQL server 2005 on a different XP box with no previous SQL
Server 2000 instance on it and everything works fine there.

I have searched high and low for meaningful information on what may be
causing this and how to fix it but with no success. Anyone have any
hints, tips, ideas and best of all a solution.

Thanks in advance

Rob

I would guess that you have a DDL trigger that prohibits this.

Aye, that's what I thought too but there are no database level triggers
and no system level triggers. Select * from sys.triggers returns no
records

Are you sure you're connecting to the SQL 2005 instance?

Yes, absolutely. From SQL Server Management Studio I have the option
of connecting to the database engine of <my_server_name> or
<my_server_nqme>\MICROSOFT##SSEE
The later is the SQL Server 2005 instance and that is the instance I am
connecting to.
