Hi, I'm a hobby programmer with a couple of level two qualifications in VB and Java so have a grounding in the basics but no real hands on experience.

I've recently downloaded and installed VS Community 2015 and SQL Server 2014 (the version with tools and Management Studio) using the default options.

I want to build a small local database application and have created a sample Windows form project to get used to the IDE again as I haven't done any programming for a while. I've created an .mdf in the VS project but when I right click Tables in Server Explorer the shortcut menu does not display an option for adding new tables or displaying the table designer.

The installations were successful and I haven't had any errors when creating the project and .mdf. Any ideas what I may have done wrong?
 
I tried a repair that didn't work so reinstalled the whole lot and its working fine now. I notice SQL Server compact has been replaced with LocalDb and looks just what I need.
