Our intranet server has sharepoint service 2.0 installed on it there is also an instance of sql express installed on the server. when i try to connect to sql server using management studio from my machine i can only get visibility of the sql express instance the server dosent have anything that would allow me to connect to the sharepont db. without installing Management studio on the server how can i connect to this database?

Management Studio as nothing to do with connectivity. Period.
If you cannot see the SharePoint DB, it's more likely

1) The remote machine doesn't have SQL Browser running
2) You don't have permissions to access the server or database

1) Sql Browser is running on the server
2) Im in the domain admin users group

i can connect to the sql server and even see the sql express instance that is also running on the server but can see the share point instance on it.
