Hello Erland,

Thank you for the quick reply. When I went to that google search page, I chose the following URL:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt238290.aspx
On that page, all I saw to download was this:
"Download SQL Server Management Studio October 2015 preview" (a link)
I clicked that link and installed the program.
It restarted my computer.

And now? I don't see anything to click, any way to initiate interaction with the program "SQL Server Management Studio." What am I missing? Is there no GUI and I have to open a command window to interact on a command line? If so, where can I find documentation to help me know what I'm doing?

Command line tools are powerful. Sometimes too powerful if the user doesn't know what they are doing. I was hoping for a GUI solution. But if that link installed one, I don't know how to make the program load.
