Hi peter, did you listen to the webcast ??? Even the first 15 mins are valuable. Useful facts gleaned; SQL Express db size limit = 4gig, memory limit =1 gig. 5 connections does not mean 5 users, more likely 10-15 users would be happy with the speed.
LISTEN to the webcast ! I posted it for a reason, there is to much ill-informed comment about MSDE and SQL Express. The limits of MSDE are not as bad as everyone thinks. I have by some mistake got an install of PS3 runnign on MSDE instead of the full copy of SQL. 15 users connected just fine. Bloody PS installer must have defaulted to MSDE... Now how to move it ?
