Hey Gary

I've set up MSDE. It works just the same as SQL Server, but you don't have the nice GUI manager and installing it can be somewhat tricky...

Your tables, views, triggers and stored procedures are the same as SQL Server. MS intended to do this so that upgrading from MSDE to SQL Server would require NO PROGRAMMING CHANGES.

I installed the SQL Server Enterprise Manager and I was able to connect to MSDE and administer it as normal.

HTH

Thanks Clunietp

I think I basically need to get my hands dirty and start messing about with it.
