| If you have SQL Server 2000 already, then why do you need to install MSDE as well?Have you looked at the developer edition for SQL Server 2000? It's only 49 bucks and is much better than MSDE.Tara |

| We have to development a new proyect that will work has a point of sale, we are going to have a register cashers that work with MSDE and a central server with SQL Server 2000, that will be connected to another central server that will be the one that update each store.So the idea is to make the program to work locally to be faster, so here in the main office we change the prices ( for example), then we replicate to each store, and each store replicate to each register casher.That is why I need to uses MSDE.And in case that the main store server fail, the operation never ends.(I hope you undestand my English) |
