well... a friend of mine is telling me (annoying me ) that with vb2005 Express we cant access remote sql server databases... well i made complete applications with vb 2005 express that connects to msde, and its working pretty well... so it must be possible...

i think this is just a matter of IDE binding to SQL Server Express limitation... cause i dont do data binding at all... i do all the database access in code...

well my question is... cant we connect to remote databases using VB 2005 Express or just SQL Server 2005 Express ?

any documentation on this issue ?

thx in addvance...
