No. SQL Server 7.0 is not for end-users. First off, it's still only a back end. It comes with a query tool (as did 6.5), but it's not targeted at end users at all. The idea is that you could have an application running on a standalone Win '9x machine using SQL Server as the data source. Unlike 6.5, you really don't need to do much administration at all.

This is why I'm mystified as to how SQL Server could replace Access. Hello? It doesn't have a front end! Access is really just a front end that comes with Jet. In the future it may come with the desktop version of SQL Server, but this will lengthen the life of Access, not hasten its demise.
