Let us know what problems you are having installing SQL Server Express. I just went through the "joy" of installing it on my new Vista empowered computer. Gee what fun! :)
>Well, in a way my questions are being answered.

>Our help desk and DBAs have been trying to get SQL Server Express running on my workstation for 3 days now. No joy.

>"Gee", they say. "We haven't seen this before. We've installed on other developer boxes with no problems."

>So I guess we'll continue to look into testing with SQL Server Express, but this does not fill me with confidence. If they have trouble getting it to run on a corporate WS in a known environment I don't know what to expect out in the 'wilds'.

>>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 think there are far, far fewer problems with having the data in SQL then in VFP. I had a job for a couple yrs simply because there was a VFP system running on computers in 30 or so countries. And someone had to help with all the data corruption issues.
>>
>>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.
