Problems connecting to Sql Server CE 4.0 with Sql Management Studio 2008

I need to set up and maintain my MS Sql CE 4.0 database. I have created the 4.0 DB (with the .sdf extension) using visual studio 2010 but when I try and connect with management studio 2008 I get this error:

'Incompati开发者_Go百科ble Database Version'

This is unreal is microsoft really telling me I cant use 4.0 with a management studio?

I don't really much fancy scripting everything...I need to use the studio for dev purposes.

Any ideas?

SSMS 2008 does not support version 4.0, and never will. You can use VS 2010 SP1 with SQL Server Compact 4.0 tools (potentially in combination with htp://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com) or on of the tools listed here: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2009/04/sql-compact-3rd-party-tools.html
