It's quite simple to explain, but you may have more problems fixing it...
Version 655 files are created by SQL server 2008, but the server supports only up to version 612, which is SQL 2005.

You cannot open SQL 2008 (or SQL 2008 R2) files in earlier versions of SQL server. You must develop your software using the same or earlier version of SQL that you intend to deploy to.

In practice, they best thing you can probably do is install a separate SQL 2005 Express edition for development and copy the data between the 2008 and 2005 versions using software. I would STRONGLY recommend that this is not installed on your development PC - I have have had Visual Studio installations completely bolloxed by SQL server installations, particularly downgrades. Use a different, spare machine or backup the whole PC first!
