OK... interesting.  A couple of questions:

I had a look and about the only significant limitation seems to be the
2Gb max size.  Whilst I don't expect the current DB will be even a 100th
of this I will have to give my clients some sort of idea of longevity.
Is there any correlation between a compacted .mdb file size and when the
same data is put in MSDE?  

I have ordinary SQL server enterprise edition running on my dev server
for other apps I look after.  Will MSDE run alongside it on the same box
happily enough?  For dev purposes can I get to either thru Enterprise
manager?
