Error modifying maintenance plans

Using my client (Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio), I am unable to
open/modify maintenance plans. Something is wrong with my client as I'm able
to open them from the server. I've uninstalled Sql2000 client as well.
I installed the Sql2005 client components, SP1 and the DTS 2000 components.
The error states: "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: component
(Sytem.Design)"
also - Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is unable to load this document.
Has anyone experienced this or know of a solution?
Thanks.
Ron
Ron,
I am having an identical issue. I can modify plans when running Management Studio on the server,
but not from my client computer. I have 2005 Developer Edition on my computer, and I am able to
create and modify plans on my local SQL Server instance without a problem. As my computer is new,
I have never had any SQL Server 2000 components installed.
Any luck finding a solution to this one?
Joe|||No nothing yet. I'm guessing it's something not clearing out in the registry
or since I thought I was the only one, that it might have been my laptop.
Since I have a workaround (go to the server), I haven't been in a rush for a
solution.
