Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllll MSDE is way sexy and all, but it is throttled after 5 simultaneous connections (as you point out) and has a 2 gig size limit.
It's replication features are limited as well. It isn't exactly free either, but it comes free with OfficeXP, and some other products etc. Hilary 973 254-8140 732 687-2264 (cell) 888-236-8061 (pager) -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 7:05 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Terminal Services and VPN or VPN Alone Rather than looking at SQL, have you considered looking at the MS Database Engine (MSDE)? Its basically SQL Lite, and is free. I think there is a connection limit imposed though, so check it out first. Roger -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
