>SQL Express will work with older versions of Visual Studio.
Can you clarify the following? On the download page, it says: "System requirements... Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 for 32-bit platforms", and I thought this version of the framework comes with Visual Studio 2005. However, I don't know if Visual Studio 2003 can be made to work with the newer version of the Framework.
