>>Thank you. I need to buy a new PC for converting some VFP to SQL Server. The process takes so much time (not hours but days) that I decided to buy a dedicated PC for this purpose. Most computer stores carry only Windows 7 Home. And I thought that SQL Server 2008 Express will give me ability to create bigger database than the Developer Edition (if my memory services me).

Ok. I was mistaken then. I understand that the SQL Server Developer Edition is sold online as a download. But I will need to find out what is the size limit of Express edition too. Thank you.
