Enterprise Manager 2000?

Hi all... I'm a total novice to MSSQL.
My web host says I need a copy of Enterprise Manager 2000 to access a MSSQL
DB they have set up on my site.
After looking at the MS site and various product literature... I am TOTALLY
confused.
What must I buy... the most minimum thing... to get a copy of Enterprise Ma
nager 2000. OR - is this anthing that is available for download anywhere?
Obviously, I'm not RUNNING SQL, I just need to manage a database that my web
host is running on their server.
Thanks in advance...
TimThis is quite a common question so I trying to find a "legally correct"
answer. However, in the mean time you could use this
SQL Server Web Data Administrator

Jasper pointed you to a correct link. To be more detailed
MS Web Data administrator acts similar to Enterprise
manager with reasonable functionalities. You dont need to
Install this on the Database Server(ISP).
The supported OS for running this tool are Windows XP and
Windows 2000 Server which has IIS . What else u r looking
for? Just Install this on your machine and you can manage
remote databases on a fly.
I am afraid you cannot use Enterprise manager until you
are a owner of a copy of SQL Server
Developer /standard/Personal/Enterpsise Editions.

well. I'm pretty sure you will be allowed to use that EM against your SQL
Server, but you'd want to check to be certain.
Also, on my web-site, the links section, you find URL's to a number of other
management tools, some free.

I was told that my claim above is incorrect. I'm trying to hunt down some
documentation or link about it and will post back if I find such.

Appreciate the feedback!|||My MVP lead found such a reference for me. A below URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/howtobuy/msdeuse.asp
There's a Q:
Q. Can I use SQL Server tools and services in conjunction with MSDE?
In the answer, there's this section:
"Note: The tools and services included with SQL Server Developer Edition may
not be used to manage production server environments."
This is pretty clear on the subject. I have requested from MS to provide
some FAQ or URL which discusses this scenario explicitly. If such will
appear, I don't know, or how long it would take...
