RESTORE 64-bit database via 32-bit GUI...

Hello all,
I'm trying to use the 32-bit GUI, on a remote server, to restore a database
on one of our 64-bit servers. The GUI returns a prompt that the restore was
successful but the GUI indicates that the database is in a Loading mode. I
tried to issue a recovery command but it fails saying that some of the files
were partially restored.
I figured that there is a problem using the 32-bit client utility so I used
OSQL, via SQL Server Agent, on the 64-bit to ensure that I was using a
compatible 64-bit utility. By doing so, I was able to restore the database
successfully.
So my question is, is not being able to restore a 64-bit database via a
32-bit GUI, on a remote server, a known issue?
Thanks...Hi
On the 32 bit client, have you installed a minimum of sp3a?
