Marco,

The developer's edition of SQL Server will run on Windows NT Workstation, but not on Windows 98. The other alternative would be to use SQL Server 7. There's a beta available now from the MS web site. It will run on Windows 98. The main disadvantage is that it's a different version so something that works in your environment may not work at the client site.

>Or is it possible to have some edition of SQL Server 6.5 installed on a Windows 98 machine? Or is the only way to be able to develop with SQL Server as the back-end on a stand-alone machine to have Windows NT installed on that machine.
>Might the developers edition of SQL Server (which comes with Visual Studio - Enterprise edition) be a solution?
