What exactly does the following install? Will I be able to code and test a SQL Server backend database with my VFP code?
Install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE)
Visual FoxPro includes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine Service Pack 3.0a. To make sure you have the most recent version and Service Pack installed, visit the Microsoft SQL Server Web page at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/default.asp. In addition, if you are distributing custom Visual FoxPro applications that require MSDE, you can obtain distributable merge modules from the Microsoft SQL Server Web page for use with Windows Installer-based setup programs. You will need to provide a secure SA password when installing MSDE. See the MSDE readme file for details. When you're ready to install, run setup.exe from the SQLMSDE folder on the CD.
