>>I have not heard of any issues running SQL Server Express. I know there were problems getting the prior version, MSDE tp install. One of the main reasons for the new version was to make installation far easier.

>>I would check some SQL Server sites to see what kind of issues are being reported with SQL Express.

>>>>We have clients who can't keep a simple Windows network running, and we're supposed to trust them to run a SQL-Server (no matter which kind)? The prospect scares me.
