I read in a previous thread that Desktop BA does not support modifying networks used in creating drive time trade areas. Is this correct? Does Desktop BA support creating and using a new network dataset?

Actually only the specific street network that ships with Business Analyst 10 is not able to be editted but creating a new or using any other network dataset is allowed.

Thanks for the response. I have the extensions turned on (Business Analyst and Network Analyst), but am unable to create a new network dataset through the network analyst toolbar, arc catalog, or the network analyst toolbox. Does the full-blown Network Analyst extension come with Business Analyst? Using Arc10.

In ArcCatalog go to Customize>Extensions and make sure that Network Analyst is checked. Then go to or create a new File Geodatabase. Once the geodatabase is created right click and go to New>Create Feature Dataset. After it is created you can right click on the feature dataset and go to New>Network Dataset.
Network Analyst has a pretty good tutorial also that could help you out.
