You bring up a question - does MSSQL.PY and FreeTDS work with MSDE/Express? I'd say the answer is yes. In the FreeTDS conf there is an entry for '127.0.0.1' (localhost) but doesn't the new express require some settings. I heard (haven't used it yet) that Express's default was to prevent TCP/IP access and used a different port??? Anybody know?
