mssql remote gui

Can anyone recommend a FREE Microsoft SQL Server GUI that I can use to
run some basic queries and browse tables for a remote MSSQL database.
I installed the freeware from TOAD, but it screwed up my computer, I
am really looking for something light weight, nothing fancy needed,
for some basic queries and browsing. If I connect to the server I use
the Enterprise Manager, but really didn't want to have to install a
copy of MSSQL on my local machine just to use the Enterprise Manager
if there was a good free GUI.

When you start the setup of SQL Server youw ill be presented an option to
just install the Client tools & Connectivity. IT should give you just the
tools, not the whole server.
