Can I connect visual studio express to sql server express?
I am sure there is a way, at the moment I can only connect
to tables in Microsoft Access.

Thanks
BJ

In my VS express in VIEW I do not see Server Explorer listed.
Must I install an additional program / driver ?
Maybe the Express version does not have server explorer.
I am very new to Microsoft products just so that you know.


Thanks
BJ
Update I went directly to add connection in VS and
when I select the sql server express database i get : (system error 32,
file being used by another process.)
Should I change the settings in SQL Server express .

Thanks agian
