If you are a Direct Access member or a MS Solutions provider you should be able to get a not for resale copy of SQL Server or SBS 4.5 for next to nothing, you might want to talk to MS because it is in there interest that developers create programs that use their database. If you intend producing software for SQL Server you should get a full version because you want to get a good knowledge of how it works to be able to provide propper support. -----Original Message----- From: Derricutt, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 17 November 1999 02:22 To: Multiple recipients of list database Subject: [DUG-DB]: MSDE - Cut down SQL Server 7.... Hiyas, a client of ours wants us to use SQL Server 7 for a project we're developing for them, as we don't really want to shell out heaps for SQL Server 7 I was thinking of maybe using that MSDE thing that was mentioned on the list a few months back. How does one get a copy of this? (I think someone mentioned buying Visual Foxpro was the cheapest way). Does it work with ADO? What can I do/can't do with it? And does anyone have a URL for more information on it? Thanks in advance, Mark -- "I love you, you love me, Bill's a bad monopoly..." ...as heard in shadows bar.
