>Hello everybody.

>Ok, I know this should go in the MSSQL forum, but hey - i am a fox-nut <s>

>i downloaded the MSDE, installed it, and i am now able to start, pause, and stop 3 different services (no clue what 2 of them are for). ok. now i am trying to add/modi some databases and tables, so i can learn something - can't find no place to that.

>is there a seperate download for an admin control? i downloaded the "Microsoft SQL Web Data Administration" because it mentioned also local not only web data, but it hangs on the loging to the server.

>as you can see i got no-nada-zip-nix-zero knowledge/experience with this. help!
