>Steve,
> I just found a great thread here on MSDE. It defintely won't work for us. Although most of our shops are small we are trying to land some companies with multiple shops and we currently have a few with 15 concurrent users in our program. The program for multi shop companies will be large with a lot of users. But thanks a lot for the suggestion. I learned something new.

5 is the recommended maximum. More users might slow down the system.
Also, clients with large data volume might use the "real" SQL Server, while you reserve MSDE for smaller clients. It seems the two are quite compatible - MSDE is just a scaled-down SQL Server.
I have no personal experience with client-server, though.
HTH, Hilmar.
